"On Thursday night, you did a little whoopsie-poopsie and forgot about your microphone! Dumbass! It happened during a TV timeout in the third period. "We'll take [the timeout] as well," you said. But you did not! You were still on the air. There were no commercials playing while you did your little scat-singing: "Mmmm. Bap-a-dap-a-dap-a-dap-a-dap." In the background, we can hear the audio from the arena, and then ..."
""While you're down there, would you mind blowing me?" you ask with your full chest in a newscaster voice, as if you were asking the meteorologist on your cable news network, And what will the weather be like tomorrow, Susie? You say it with so much glee in your voice, proud of your little joke. Tim, you dolt! You nitwit! You dope! "I think we're still on the air, Tim," Todd Fedoruk, your co-host says."
Tim Saunders has been the Flyers' radio broadcaster since 1997, about 30 years. During a third-period TV timeout, Saunders forgot his microphone was live and performed scat-singing before making an explicit sexual remark: "While you're down there, would you mind blowing me?" There were no commercials and arena audio remained audible. Co-host Todd Fedoruk warned that they were still on the air. Saunders laughed and asked, "No we're not, are we?" followed by a thick, uncomfortable silence. The Flyers suspended Saunders for two games and issued an apology to listeners, fans, and those affected by the comments.
