Dunking on the Cowboys Should Get this Weather Guy a Major Market TV Job

According to Ethan Bird’s Twitter profile, he’s a “weekend anchor and producer/occasional reporter, sports guy, and weatherman” at WTOK television in Meridian, Mississippi. That’s television market #191, sandwiched between the metropolises of Lima, Ohio, and Great Falls, Montana. You have to be really motivated to be a do-it-all journo in a place like that, and Mr. Bird is getting his warranted moment in the spotlight for absolutely demolishing the Dallas Cowboys on live television:

This is why you don't let the sports guy do weather… 🤣 pic.twitter.com/47S6QtlODg

“It’s looking a little bit like those Dallas Cowboys, peaking in the 90s.”

Bang bang! I’m dead.

That is absolutely something you put on your resume tape when looking to move up. You know that some dipshit news director is sitting in their office saying “we should hire the guy who dunked on the Cowboys,” and you know what? That news director is absolutely right. Ethan Bird is ready for the next big thing. We should bring him here to work at FOX 29, 6 ABC, CBS 3, or NBC 10. Maybe WFMZ up in the Lehigh Valley is hiring and he can do the Berks County weather for the Berks County edition.

By the way, what is it with meteorologists this year? They simply do not give a fuck.

We had Hurricane Schwartz dropping a tomahawk jam on Ben Simmons:

Howard Eskin came for Cecily Tynan, and Cecily put him in the toilet and gave him a swirlie:

It’s like the filter is gone. The meteorologists are fighting back. They are showing personality. No longer are they just punching bags.

Whatever you, don’t get torched by the weather people. Don’t be Ben Simmons, Howard Eskin, or the Dallas Cowboys.
