Burned! News Anchor Insults Sports Reporter About His “Small Thing”

In this local news clip, there is clearly a backstory to explain the awkward and hilarious tension between anchor Belinda Heggen and sports correspondent Mark Aiston. After Aiston finishes his report and discusses his amazement with a small trophy, Heggen icily declares he shouldn’t be so shocked because he has experience with small things.

The conversation:

Aiston: And Belinda, I just can’t understand how something so small can be so impressive?
Heggen: Well Mark, you would know about that. Thank you very much.

It’s hard to interpret her feisty retort as anything but that of an angry co-worker who was once possibly much more. However, if this is over-analyzing the clip, it’s still amusing to watch the sports guy’s stunned silence after she delivers the “small” low blow.
