Raissman: Utley-Tejada incident stirs debate in TBS booth

At least Cal Ripken Jr. is not about to fold under questioning.

And who knew Ernie Johnson Jr. and Ron Darling had ambitions of becoming prosecuting attorneys?

For as soon as Chase Utley flipped Ruben Tejada, breaking the Mets shortstop's leg in the seventh inning of NLDS Game 2, court TV was in session. Since this went down live on TBS, it was the court of first resort.

There was a great divide among TBS' crew, rare when current voices serenade their partners with highly creative platitudes like "great point." Not this night. The high drama on the field extended into the broadcast booth.
