You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Victor Jacobs''' (born December 12, 1952), also known as '''Vic "The Brick" Jacobs''', is an American radio and television [[sportscaster]].  He is best known as a former co-host of ''The Loose Cannons'', a sports radio talk airing nationally on [[Fox Sports Radio]]. He is known for eccentric behavior, like wearing fur caps and robes, and writing Lakers [[haiku]] poems to read on-air.

==Early years==
Jacobs grew up in [[Queens]], [[New York (state)|New York]]. He is a graduate of [[Cornell University]], and got his start in broadcasting in [[Guam]], back in 1979. Jacobs also had other sports broadcasting stints, working at KTVV (now [[KXAN-TV]]), in [[Austin, Texas]], [[KMPH-TV]] in [[Fresno, California]],<ref name="SI">((cite magazine|last=Taaffe|first= W.|date=1987-08-03|title=Flipped out in Fresno.|magazine=Sports Illustrated|volume=67|issue=5|pages=65|issn=0038-822X|url=http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1066246/index.htm))</ref> and radio and television outlets in [[Phoenix, Arizona]].  Jacobs began his broadcasting career at Western Albemarle High School in Crozet, Virginia. He announced games for the Warriors. In 1988, Jacobs arrived in Los Angeles and at [[KCOP-TV]], where he was the station's sports Anchor.  It was starting there that Jacobs' eccentric personality came to light, and was most remembered for throwing a foam brick at the camera, for anything that he disagreed with.<ref name="SI"/> However, the "Brick" was used on his Austin, Texas sportscasts as far back as the mid-1980s. 

The stint at KIIS led Jacobs to help launch the new sports-talk format at KIIS's AM sister station, the newly renamed KXTA (1150 AM, now [[KEIB]]). The new station was based on the popular [[XETRA-AM|XTRA Sports 690]] in San Diego, a sister station then-owned by [[Jacor Communications]] (now part of [[Clear Channel Communications]]).  On March 10, 1997, Jacobs was first voice heard on the new XTRA Sports 1150, as a solo host of a midday program.  Later on, he was teamed with NBA superstar and future [[Basketball Hall of Fame|Hall of Famer]] [[Karl Malone]] and [[Pro Football Hall of Famer|NFL Hall of Famer]] [[Terry Bradshaw]] in hosting duties.((Citation needed|date=March 2019))

In 2011 he was inducted into the [[Southern California Jewish Sports Hall of Fame]].<ref>[https://scjewishsportshof.com/jacobs-vic.html Vic “The Brick” Jacobs]. scjewishsportshof.com</ref>
