Not his finest moment. Once when I was a young lieutenant in Korea, I did something similar. Up most of the night doing unspeakable things. Next day we were listening to some lecture in the motor pool and I fell asleep standing up. I awakened as a I was falling and desperately grabbed onto the guy next to me - who happened to be a major. He was not even slightly amused when I dragged him down with me. "Lieutenant, what the hell are you doing?!?!" Wasn't much I could say in the way of an explanation. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I've seen this before, but don't remember it from when it was happening. You have to love how the talking head mutant ignores the fact that a man just had a heart attack or stroke or God knows what in front of him and passed out, yet continues to ignore it and talk so as not to "disrupt the shot" or whatever. Like maybe no one watching would notice what just happened. 8 minutes ago, mykidsdad said: First time I saw this I laughed out loud. The news guy's reaction is priceless.

That's not my take at all; it's a bunch of idiots not knowing how to react to what just happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 WTF is with Trev Albert’s reaction? He keeps trying to talk through segment when Bruce falls backward? He could’ve been having a heart attack or something. Any normal person would’ve showed some concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 No idea why people still make fun of this. Passing out standing up, for any reason, is no laughing matter. Anything can happen when your head falls to the floor from 6+ feet up. Wasn't funny then, still ain't funny. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I remember it like it was yesterday. Bruce had the flu. Hot studio lights and Nyquill will do it every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I vividly recall this. This happens frequently in the military when people lock their knees while standing at attention. At the time, the team doc made clear he had the flu and was dehydrated. Could have been cover but having seen Bruce in person many times, I believed him. Thurman? Not so much. Saw him verbally b*tch slap two kids looking for autographs and my respect instantly fell. That was at Bruce’s golf tournament in Virginia. Andre was with him and said, “Come on, man.” Edited September 3, 2019 by TroutDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, getting drunk before going on tv and drinking way more than you can handle seems more logical than showing up the flu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
