Move Over Joe Namath, You now have competition in the sideline reporter kissing game! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There are acceptable ways of ending an interview. A handshake is the customary move, but even a simple nod and thank you can suffice. Asking for a kiss on the lips, however, probably isn't the best move (as Joe Namath demonstrated in 2003). Well that's the exact move that Herb Deshaies, father of Astros' announcer Jim Deshaies, pulled during an exhibition game on the MLB Network this afternoon...

Awkward! I love that the announcers immediately went to the Namath comparison and Deshaies referred to his pops as a "masher". I have no idea what that means, but I think I can guess.

Good grief!! "Masher" is basically a term that means a man who is aggressive in making amorous advances to women. It certainly fits the bill here.

I should have added "unwanted" to the description.
