..... swedish refs....

Had to be the stupidest comment the whole night, "well the sweedish ref was talking in sweedish to the sweedish player. That can't be legal. He's giving away secrets and helping him cheat". Come on. What a load of bull crap. Is sweedish even a language on it own. Don't they speak somehthing else.

Dude, it was Rich Telford, he wasn't being serious. He was pretty funny though, "You see me in the back, hiding a lot and yelling a lot 'cause I get scared."

I couldn't believe it when Matty Marshall said, "When you get hit you just gotta play it cool like nothing happened." And all the "he got his head blown off" and "bullets" talk was weird... that's not even paintball slang. They were pretty good about teaching non-paintballers the basics, like bunker nicknames and whatnot. It was hard to follow, but they have to work the kinks out of televised paintball still.

I agree with others, ESPN did a good job of showing the event (e.i. shooting lanes and stuff), but i just don't think its too fun to watch, mabey its jsut because i'm not a big fan or pro paintball or any teams...

I did see a guy from naughty dogs (i think) try to wipe a shot off of his hand, but the ref caught him and gave him a 3 for 1 penalty. I just can't imagine why you would even try to pull off a wipe on national TV - it's dirty, bad sportsmanship, and shows that your a wiping son of a B.

EDIT: Red Star Funk: oh yea, i thought the blowing heads off, bullet talk, and killing talk was kinda wierd too... you dont die when you get hit with a paintball!

I loved it. While it didn't catch the tourney feel it sure did have some great camera angles, the helm cam with Ollie was great. The overhead shot was awsome with the players mapped out.
The only thing that got me was, doll house and carwash... LOL Brick, Small Brick. Da Dum Cshhh. :)

Thumbs up to them. even my lil bro who is 9 yrs old could comprehend what was going on. I cant say I was entertained much myself, but the show isnt directed at me and I dont watch tv.
