Sports Reporter Gets Rare Interview With Chick Who Fell Down On TV

thumbnail icon: Sports Reporter Gets Rare Interview With Chick Who Fell Down On TV

So the other night at a baseball game, one of the groundskeepers, a young lady by the name of Robin Habisch, slipped and fell while helping the other (male) groundskeepers maniacally pull the rain tarp over the field. This resulted in humorous video (knowing she was okay) of poor Robin being dragged across the field before she realized she should let go and just walk out after the tarp was settled, which she eventually did, to crowd applause. Because the incident aired on TV, an ESPN FSN reporter cornered Robin and asked her questions about the her fall. People being interviewed on TV are usually either crazy or famous, so Robin's totally normal, slightly bewildered reaction ("I feel like an idiot, but I'm fine!) is rare and really likable.

I can't believe he asked if it was a prank, but she handled it really well. Go Robin!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's clearly another Kelly on Videogum. A registered one with a kickass picture of Mindy Kaling playing with puppets as a child. You've been advised, kind madame.

"SHE is standing by." What he means is: "Surprised a woman groundskeeper exists, eh? And it figures, huh, that it was a vagi--er woman."

I feel bad that she had to be interviewed for that.

Definitely the most exciting part of a Reds game.

Could FSN have found a reporter that was maybe a little taller? The size difference here isn't awkward enough.
