With all the year-end holidays in the rearview window, Thursday morning was a time for the Get Up desk to be manned by Mike Greenberg again. And with the sun rising over the East River behind him, ESPN's Seaport studios looked resplendent, refreshed and renewed. All was going fine until a sea bird decided to act on it's resolution to get more camera time, buzzing the tower so closely that perspective changed and the flying fowl appeared to be 10 times its actual size.
A quick-thinking producer monitoring that particular feed made sure to incorporate it into the broadcast and boom, great television occurred with Greenberg helpfully explaining that the bird is not actually that big and Dan Orlovsky wondering why anyone would feel the need to mention that the guest was white.
