Must have seemed like forever, Amber
Between innings of tonight's Orioles game, it fell to MASN's 
Amber Theoharis to conduct an interview with the fellow playing a caveman character from the insurance company commercials. He had thrown out the first pitch. Theoharis understandably tried to keep it light and joke with him, but Mr. Caveman apparently wasn't in much of a mood for yuks. Finally, after she said something about the caveguy trying some of the fare at Boog's Barbecue, he responded he is a vegetarian and "meat is murder." Probably feeling as though she would have liked to club him over the head, Theoharis turned it back to the broadcast booth. Gary Thorne sympathetically said to her: "Sometimes you really earn your money."

I saw that. It was brutal. Although it sounded like Amber said, "I was just trying to be a comedy" instead of "comedian."
Seems like a real jerk, though, I don't need to hear his vegetarian agenda pushed on me. Ha-ha. Maybe I'll have to write Geico a letter.

I'm guessing the Geico Gecko would have been a more pleasant interview, though I doubt the bloke understands much about our version of cricket.
