ESPN changes Balls to Cajones

Brock Landers · #1 10-26-2005, 01:54 PM

Anyone notice that ESPN changed Mike Matusow from saying, "I have big balls, you have little balls" to "I have big cajones, you have little cajones" in this years flashback piece of last years confrontation between him and Greg Raymer?

Looks like their censors have little bojones.

They also edited it to look like Matusow's reaction after losing to AQ with his AK to eliminate him was as a result of losing the big hand to Raymer's diamond flush.

I think he originally said "cajones" they just removed the bleeps this year. No editing that I can see

That's what I thought too, I always thought MM said 'cajones'. Was disappointed Raymer wasn't writing something about MM in his notes, but not surprised. Notice Greg's reaction to MM ranting in this years WSOP when at the same table. Zen-like indifference. Nice job.

Mike said both, plus another dozen or more terms that mean the same thing. In fact, I hadn't realized there were so many words out there that mean "testicles".

I imagine they just took a different segment, and used that instead of the one they used last year. Also, it is correct that the reaction they show was the reaction to his getting knocked out by a Q on the river, not his reaction to my making my diamond flush an hour or so earlier.

Even more amazing than the creative editing is the fact that when they had me do my commentary on the final table, they left in a couple of my comments where I pointed out the use of creative editing.

Later, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)
