They pulled him off in mid-broadcast.
quote:

Brennaman, who calls Reds games for FOX Sports Ohio as well as some national games for FOX Sports, appeared to be unaware that the broadcast of a Reds-Royals game in Kansas City had returned from commercial break when he was heard referring to someplace as "the fig capital of the world."

The hot mic moment of all time. Dude is beyond fricked. There is no misunderstanding when you use the context he did.

His apology being sandwiched around a HR call is just langiappe to this story.

That's his only out. He has to say he's gay and was just really pumped about KC being full of homos.

I never thought I would use the following sentence, but here it goes:

“The only chance Thom has of saving is career is to get caught blowing a 3 black guys in rainbow suspenders for a bag of crack behind the dumpster at Wendy’s..... tonight”
