Video: Giants-Loving Bro Weatherman Loves His Job

Tom Murphy

As you can tell from the video montage below, Channel 11 News Director Tom Murphy really seems to enjoy his job, whether he's making Michael Jordan comeback references, quoting the "great poet and philosopher Nelly," or shouting out to all his "people in Jerz." The northern Michigan anchor's highlight reel was posted on Reddit by a local fan, and his effervescent style has elicited a range of reactions from people who don't know if they love him for his sincere enjoyment of his work, or hate him for being an overgrown frat bro. We will say he does a decent Victor Cruz salsa impression—but what's up with his eyesight? Does he need glasses to doesn't he??

He fits in with Northern Michigan. Many people up there are awesomely weird.

It's not like the news is educational anymore. As Alonzo said, might as well entertain me.

There's this new invention now, called "contact lenses", that people sometimes use instead of glasses. You can't even tell that they're wearing them!
