Flyers Announcer Caught on Hot Mic Making Inappropriate Comment | Suspended 2 Games



Flyers radio play-by-play announcer Tim Saunders was caught on a hot mic during their loss against the Buffalo Sabres and the team and radio partner has now suspended him two games

Saunders: “Now they’re going to take the TV timeout. We’ll take it as well, seven (minutes) gone in the third, it’s 3-2 Buffalo on the Philadelphia Flyers broadcast network.”

Saunders: “While you’re down there, would you mind blowing me?”

Fridge: “I think we’re still on the air Tim.”

Saunders: “No we’re not, are we?”

Saunders: “Are we?” (long pause) “Do you have us? Talk to me.”

  1. If it is the movie Semi Pro, it is fine. If it is real life and obviously a joke, no go.

  2. Oh who cares.
    Look who is in the White House.
    Big deal.
    Trump is allowed to say worse😮

  3. Tim saunders needs to be promoted i havent had to much to laugh about lately but i cant stop now

  4. One of our local newscasters was notorious for stuff like this many years ago. He'd introduce the story then when it went to video, he'd start cat-calling the women, shit-talking the politicians or whatever and it would be absolutely constant. Two weather girls actually quit over it!

    He kept getting warned that one day, someone was going to leave his mic hot either by accident or on purpose, but he didn't care. It actually happened once or twice and he had to make a half-hearted apology but he kept right on doing it till the day he retired.

  5. I heard this live … was listening to the flyers feed because I cannot stand EPSN. The first thing I thought was a- how careless can you be. I get it ..guys having fun. It’s harmless in a way but there are young kids listening perhaps. I think some kind of acknowledgement is reasonable- should not be suspension.

  6. I am not surprised… The man thinks hes on a commercial break. Jokes with a coworker and some one needs to be suspended because of the phrase Blow Me???

    Flyers were once the toughest players on and off the ice… Now it seems they cant handle Kate smith saying things that were normal in the early 1900s…. But offensive by today standards…?

    Seriously Philly get over yourselves… Bring back Carter hart.. Bring back the Announcer and Bring back Kate Smith

  7. Although I am not offended at all and I think it's hilarious because of the times we live in this guy is getting fired 100%.

  8. 2 game suspension is bad enough, he better not get fired from this. Honest silly mistake, NOBODY was hurt. Or at least nobody should be.
