|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board OT - Me thinks no more cable cam for awhile David Harpe, Photographer Louisville | KY | USA | Posted: 9:45 PM on 10.14.07 ->> http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8S9C0T00&show_article=1&image=larg... "....After the camera was righted somewhat off the ground, it fell again—and nearly hit Bobby Engram as the Seattle receiver was walking to the sideline."  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Maybe if the camera were wearing a red vest it would have been more visible and... like... safer or something.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (9) | Huh?

If this would be remote from someone of photographers, then yes. But with all the money TV is paying, I don't think anyone will consider this incident as problem. Hell... I would say, they wouldn't consider this as problem, even if camera would kill someone when it would fall down.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Teams often make more money from TV rights than from ticket sales, or at least close to it, so its hard to believe that TV will be reprimanded. Now if a player actually gets hurt from a TV person, then they'll get in trouble.

Isn't Karma grand! Maybe someday a remote can be placed under the dirt, and someone can have that fabulous shot of grass, dirt, and the bottom of someone's shoe!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

On a serious note... I wonder if they would ever try to get a cable cam in hockey? Might have to raise the scoreboard over centre ice.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
