Shane Victorino heads to the Wach to see the Sixers beat the Mavs

Posted by meech.one at 12:34 pm ET 30 Comments

Fresh off his 3-year, $22 million re-up with the Phillies, Shane Victorino ventured over to the Wachovia Center on Friday night where he sat courtside to watch the 76ers take care of the Dallas Mavericks, 92-81. The following morning, Shane headed for the Cayman Islands to join his other Phillies teammates (and Bobby Abreu) for the wedding of Jimmy Rollins and his longtime girlfriend Johari Smith.

After the jump, there’s video of Jaime Maggio interviewing Shane before the start of the 2nd quarter. Watch as Shane shows off his new Silverstar t-shirt, talks about how much he enjoys the Philadelphia fans, and even signs an autograph for a little kid. How sweet!

He farted on the kid while he was signing the autographed…. He has to secretly be a dick when the cameras are on him.

@ken I went to Spring Training in 2008 and he was a dick….so don’t worry.

I apologize ahead of time if this posts twice because it didn’t show up the first time….

That autograph was totally scripted.

Love Shane-O-Mac. I am so glad he’ll be here for another 3 years. I am halfway to 500 Freezie Pops!!!

Rudy, I clicked your link. You’re a funny guy. I saw Pat House a couple months ago at the Troc and he was terrific. I wonder if the “Pat House Sucks” campaign has stuck.

I was waiting for the Flywaiian and the interviewer to get bowled over by a runaway dribble drive under the glass as Shane was going through Media Response #4 from the Philly Sports Media Handbook for Professional Athletes.

Can anyone translate this? I’m not sure all of it was even in English…I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Shane probably doesn’t have a future in broadcasting.

Shane has so much to say, he wants to say it all at once.

@Gonzo, the idea of having 500 freezie pops in one lifetime is mind blowing. Good luck, hope you don’t die.

his obsession with terrible shirts requires some sort of intervention

Seriously Vic enough with the graphic t’s…what are we 12 years old. BTW, does it bother anyone Bobby A. was at the wedding. I don’t want that losing nonchalant attitude contaminating anyone on this team. There should have been a strict black-tie/WS ring only policy.

Aww, how sweet of him to sign something on camera.
Gonzo Says:
January 24th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Yeah DP. How dare Jimmy invite his best friend to his wedding? The nerve!!!

An errant pass into that interview would have been amazing.

Who is that distinguished gentleman with the powder puff baby blue shirt on sitting to his left at the end? Must be someone important as he kept his head down and “thumbed” away at his crackberry!

Does anyone remember his sportscasting cameo on some local network a couple years ago? Talk about uncomfortable.

That greaseball on the right can’t possibly be a local. No gold chain, and I do not detect a wifebeater either. Guy can’t be from the tri-state area. No way! And totally agree about the shirt. NEW TEAM POLICY: No more Ed Hardy, etc. gay-ass shirts. That means you too Raul!!!
I love the way Shane plays, but he does seem like that guy at the bar, who after about your tenth beer, you just wanna punch in the face.

Like Joe D said – totally scripted. You can see some folks in the background who get totally stiffed.

I actually sat in the second row, fifth seat in (just off camera to the right of the father/kids). His appearance was a bit awkward, but I can vouch that he did sign a handful of autographs off-camera as well. He was also really friendly with the people sitting next to him and the strange white guy (who as I could tell, did not talk the entire time), especially the father with the little girl, and it appeared they were strangers.
