The Philadelphia Flyers have suspended radio play-by-play broadcaster Thomas Saunders for making an inappropriate remark whereas on the airwaves … when a scorching mic picked up a joke about oral intercourse.
All of it went down through the third interval of the Flyers’ 5-3 loss Thursday evening. After an icing name, Saunders threw the printed to a industrial break … the one drawback was it did not occur.
Seemingly, as somebody within the sales space went all the way down to the ground, Saunders was heard saying, “While you’re down there, would ya mind blowing me?”
“I think we’re still on the air, Tim,” one other individual mentioned.
Primarily based on the boisterous snicker he set free, it sounded as if Saunders thought he was joking, earlier than realizing it wasn’t April Idiot’s Day.
“No we’re not, are we?” Saunders requested.
Sadly for him … they had been — and his bosses had been listening.

Being caught on scorching mics is nothing new, however this incident is small potatoes in comparison with the Thom Brennaman incident from the 2020 MLB season … when he used a homophobic slur reside on air.
Saunders will miss the Flyers’ subsequent two video games towards the New York Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks … and will likely be eligible to return when Philly takes on the Blackhawks in Chicago.
This is hoping he retains it PG when the headset’s on transferring ahead … simply in case.
