An Announcer Slips Up And Calls Roy Oswalt’s “Bulging Disk” A “Bulging…” Well, You Know

Live television can sometimes lead to some unfortunate moments, like when a BBC soccer announcer referred to Japan’s post-World Cup celebration as “meltdown.”

Yesterday on Comcast SportsNet Philly, analyst Ricky Bottalico had an unfortunate slip-up, when, while discussing Roy Oswalt‘s bulging disc, he referred to the Philadelphia Phillies pitcher’s injury as a “bulging dick.”

As ESPN’s Steve Levy can attest to, Bo’s slip-up isn’t the first time that somebody has confused a bulging disc with a bulging-something-else.
