Kansas City weathercasters missed their chance to make on-air, off-color jokes about Jared Allen's jersey number. But Twin Cities weatherman Chris Shaffer wasted no time going right for the tasteless, joking on air that Allen coming to Minneapolis was an omen that somebody was "gonna get 69 sex!"
Shaffer quickly realized he'd gone too far. He corrected himself by saying, "I don't know about that. That's a little aggressive."
Aggressive? To his viewers? To the future the Mrs. Shaffer? Certainly not to Allen, whose Jared Allen's Sports Arena & Grill makes good use of the 69 reference with the slogan "Wine 'em, Dine 'em, 69 'em." Now that's aggressive.
You don't need a weatherman to tell you which way he blows.
