If you do a quick search for Matt Vasgersian on YouTube, you'll find a few clips of him swearing and acting like an idiot on live television. Monday night was no exception, as he attempted humor at a horribly bad time.
Not only is that an awful time to crack a joke, it's also a bit racist, since the guy hardly looks like Donovan McNabb and weighs about fifty pounds more than the Eagles' quarterback. Not to mention Brad Hawpe is getting on a cart with his neck immobilized after getting struck with a thrown ball. Great job, Matt.

Matt Vasgersian Apologizes
An update on Matt Vasgersian’s latest awkward live TV moment that originally ran here at Bugs & Cranks.
Way to go, Matty.
Of course he had roughly an hour to throw out an apology during Monday’s show while Brad Hawpe’s condition was still unknown. That probably would have been the right time to do so, but we’ll let it slide this time.
All is forgiven...
