Walking off the stage after upon his pick Sal Valenetti, he took off his microphone and threw it at [[Archibald Coolranch]] in anger (which cost Swaringen him an [[wikipedia:unsportsmanlike conduct|unsportsmanlike conduct]] penalty). Swaringen's remaining picks of Valenetti and Linkin Brige were eventually flexed out to [[Phil Allen]] and female moderator [[Kathi Jameson|Kathi]] & [[Karly Jameson]], respectively. |
