The headset thread got me thinking about some of the discussion. What is the funniest thing you heard or said on the headset?

No so much funny stuff...but I have a D.C. who tends to scream on our open Telex System...nearly broke my eardrum.

had a coach inform me that one of the kids' mom was not wearing any underwear, guess he had a great view on top of the press box.

"If you run that play again I will come down and kick you in the nuts." Me(DC) to the head coach(OC).

Along the lines of JMC...i used to have a blast coaching collegiately from the box. (before kickoff, and if we were doing well  ) "Row 7, Seat 5..blonde..." It was great to look down and see our coaches peering up into the stands trying to see the eye candy. |

Defensive pressbox coach after an RB broke 3 tackles and went 75 yds for go ahead score, said "the only thing keeping me from jumping is that I might survive the fall."

When we were at the middle school we used the little personal radios with little headsets from walmart. We were at an away game at a school that wasn't very far from the interstate and our little radios were right there with all the truckers. About halfway through the first quarter I'm calling plays in what soulds like greek to anybody not a football coach, and these truckers start calling back on the radio asking me what in the world I'm talking about, except they weren't very nice about it. I'm sure I've made plenty of people mad with my play calls over the years, but I'm not sure any of them have called me some of the things those truckers did that night!

This wasn't over the headphones ... well sort of....
I was in a college pressbox along with the defensive spotter (I was the OC) and the other team was putting it to our defense pretty good. After we had given up our third score with some pretty pathetic defensive efforts, our coach let out with one of the Best (or worst) expletive filled barrages I have ever witnessed.
He was really letting our players have it, "F this and F that!" over and over, loud and proud... It was then that I noticed the window on the pressbox was open and that the fans were all staring up at him/us... and I began to move back out of view as I tapped my partner on the arm and told him to shut up!
After the game, we ended up winning, we even had some of the opposing coaches on the far sideline come over and ask, "who was the guy yelling out of your pressbox?" Needless to say, he heard about that one for quite a while.

Was the pantless mom standing on her head? I was thinking the same thing! I would guess the view to be better looking up from the sidelines. |

Similar to utchuckd, I was coaching freshmen and we had some pretty cheap radios. On the road one night we were picking up the local McDonalds drive thru from time to time.

I was in the box one night, and for some reason we had a new game announcer . Since we were a smal school, we had a tight pressbox where home team sat inside the box (me) and the vistiors guy sat just outside the box on a platform.
Well the new announcer guy, between calls, would leave the mic open. So for the part of the first quarter of the game everything I called down, went over the whole stadium speaker system. Finally the HC just said "just turn off the headset d*mn it!"
I had no clue what was going on till I stepped out of the box and the fans were telling me they could hear everything. Thankfully I'm not a cussing type on the sets.
