Ian Eagle release some steam on Mike Fratello

Too funny - although Ian, you might want to wait until the commercial break next time...

I saw this live and they talk like this all the time, I think it was a joke

Agreed. Apparently Eagle doesn't realize that he's on the D-list as far as play by play announcers are concerned.

Ian was joking around and trying to add color to what looks like a boring game. Lots of play-by-play guys do that with their color commentators. E.g. Reggie Miller and Marv.

arent these two best friends?

It was probably pretty tough watching all those horrible Nets teams every night.

I guess it's safe to say these two hate each other?

sensitive.

what a butthurt little baby

Oh god not "golbity guck" we are getting real flustered now fellas.

I need to start using the phrase "goblity guck"

yes so when will they wrestle each other

If Ian Eagle don't sit his little ass down

was he joking?

Shut up, E-in.

I love Ian Eagle lol

my nigga was mad lmao

Yeeesh

NA cringe :^)

Manchild lol

u mad

Very professional....

lmfao wow. holy shit say that shit off the air

gobbledygook!

lmfao

you guys dead don't get that he's fucking playing lol

Ian Eagle ain't about that life. He should have known better

I liked Mike "the czar" back in the day in the early '90s doing NBA with Marv Albert--Albert would be too much of a pro to get all sensitive like Ian Eagle-stick to those bottom of the barrel CBS games please!

Lol it was a bit, guys

cant believe people are taking this joke seriously.

Ian Eagle has said this was a joke

Well that was awkward.... joke or not..

The best man lol

Eagle Layed him the fuck out

Ian Eagle is a very good announcer. I like listening to him on Nets and NFL broadcasts. With that said, he was being way too sensitive here. I’m sure Mike Fratello was trying to explain something to the viewing audience and not patronize Ian Eagle in any way.

The Czar Of The Telestrator 🤣🤣🤣 Him, Hubie, and Marv 🐐🐐🐐

dont stand for it

Bruh couldn’t wait until commercial break to get that off his chest?

You people have to be really really dumb if you don’t understand that Ian Eagle was kidding. Based on Fratello’s reaction, and Eagle’s reaction TO his reaction, and the way they both laugh about it and make additional jokes right afterwards, it’s clear that Eagle was just joking around.

Look at that score in the 4th

A split screen? Yeah I know what a split screen is

Numbers of views of this video gonna be skyrocketed

One more time! Oh yeah, we're gonna celebrate oooooh!

Ian Eagle is terrible what a baby. Waaaaahhh dude change your tampon.

Here we are 12 years later and everyone is stupidly up in arms again.... It was a gag, a joke, sarcasm. Fratello actually high fived Eagle at the end of it. Go on about your lives people..... 🤣🤣

Timeout

"I never use patronizing in a sentence"
Too many syllables for your simple brain?

Someone link me the Full video for context please

Wow. This was many years ago. Ian Eagle confirmed it was a joke. Fratello eventually gave him a high-five after when the broadcast went to commercial break.

Bird went full wrestling heel.

People who are claiming this was a joke. . . Had no idea Ian Eagle had stans
