When it comes to the world of sports errors aren't just made on the field, as you'll see, sometimes they're committed in the booth. When the game is going 1,000 miles per hour and you're on live (with the whole world expecting you to say something) then you're bound to have some slips. Believe us, it's far worse to do it in print when you've had time to think things through.
Still, when done on air, it's often followed by a long pause of awkward silence, that has to feel like an eternity, as the blushing announcer waits for his partner to improvise. At that point the recourse is still up in the air. In extreme cases the slip may lead to a firing. It's a long, anxious wait for a nervous play-caller but one thing's for sure, somebody rewound that on DVR to post onto the Internet.
This list is a compilation of those eternalized mistakes. These videotaped gaffes are what both down-time, and the seven second delay was made for. Call them Freudian slips, or the misunderstandings of tone def old timers, and if you're 13 (like us) call them "fails." These are the Most Accidentally Sexual Sports Broadcaster Calls, on video.

Do they now?
Date: 2/16/2008
Broadcaster: Reggie Miller
Game: 2008 NBA Three-Point Shootout
You learn something new everyday. Shoot from the titty, boy.
What's the difference, again?
Date: 2/19/2012
Broadcaster: Don Bell
Game: Sportscenter (New York Knicks vs. Dallas Mavericks highlights)
One chokes while the other gets choked on (no link for that). Yep, that's what type of list this is.
A consummate professional.
Date: 2011
Broadcaster: Curtis Strange
Game: LPGA Tour
Give him a few minutes alone behind the pro shop, he'll be alright.
The 76ers + The 49ers
Date: 5/26/2012
Broadcaster: Sasha Andrade
Game: ABC Miami Newscast
It's hard enough to be a woman in that business.
Screw a good offense. This, is the real best defense.
Date: 9/29/2013
Broadcaster: Solomon Wilcots
Game: Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Some high brow shit here.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct
Date: 1/5/2008
Broadcaster: Cris Collinsworth
Game: Washington Redskins vs. Seattle Seahawks
Is the horse dead yet?
Date: 10/9/2010
Broadcaster: Unknown
Game: Northern Iowa vs. Southern Illinois
The guy's last name is pronounced "Semen," there's nothing you can do about that. But say "pressuring" instead of "coming" lest you want to end up on YouTube long after death.
ESPN's minor leagues.
Date:7/2007
Broadcaster: Cindy Brunson
Game: ESPN New Broadcast
Nobody watches ESPN News. And those who do aren't worth impressing anyway.
With one comes the other.
Date: 1/2/2010
Broadcaster: Andy Brickley
Game: Detroit Red Wings vs. Phoenix Coyote
Brickley's lucky he didn't work for the Blackhawks.
Rich guy gets what he wants.
Date: 4/30/2013
Broadcaster: Susannah Collins
Game: Minnesota Wild vs. Chicago Blackhawks
The gold standard for all slips of the tongue. For this, innocuous screw-up, Susannah Collins was fired from her job at CSN Chicago. It was the height of dipshittery and came at the behest of Blackhawks chairman Rocky Wirtz (who owned part of the network). This is an organization with noted wife beater Bobby Hull as an ambassador. Priorities...in order.
Did this guy get fired too?
Date: 8/24/2013
Broadcaster: Unknown
Game: Brookwood vs. McEachern (Georgia High School Football)
No, because Rocky Wirtz didn't push for it.
When did Evan Longoria become a goalie?
Date: 2/19/2008
Broadcaster: Don Taylor
Game: Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
God, I wish I didn't possess the knowledge needed to write that headline.
Normal blankets work just as well.
Date: 3/2007
Broadcaster: Pete Krupsky
Game: Detroit Plymouth Whalers vs. Unknown
There were probably 40 tampon ads during the telecast so what's the deal?
Not so fast sweetheart.
Date: 10/24/2009
Broadcaster: Lee Corso
Game: College Gameday
We got the remedy.
Actually, Holtz means oblivious.
Date: 10/10/2007
Broadcaster: Lou Holtz
Game: Navy vs. Pittsburgh
At 76, that's impressive. We're not all so lucky.
Why do they call him "Big Ben?"
Date: 10/31/2010
Announcer: Chris McKendry
Game: Saints vs. Steelers
We wonder if she's ever ordered a cheesecock at McDonald's?
Evening plans leaked.
Date: 4/13/2007
Broadcaster: Christine Nubla
Game: Portland Blazers vs. Los Angeles Clippers
We think we saw her name scribbled on a bathroom wall somewhere.
Players do it too.
Date: Unknown
Broadcaster: Chase Daniel
Game: N/A
Though, it's not like he's lying.
That was no slip of the tongue.
Date: 12/13/2011

Congrats to both.
It would be hard to run with.
Date: 11/26/1995

And you wouldn't want to be tackled by him either.
