Fox Sports announcer channels Ron Burgundy in this teleprompter blunder
On Sunday night during the Jaguars-Rams game, Fox Sports announcer Dick Stockton made an awkward teleprompter mistake. And the best his co-host could do was ignore it.
"Look on graphic for the final two bullet points," he read while promoting a halftime report, as a graphic highlighting the top sports stories of the evening popped up on the screen.
Stockton continued reading to the end of the direction and his co-host, analyst Mark Schlereth, moved right on without acknowledging the blunder, according to For the Win.
As astute sports writer Andrew Joseph noted, Stockton truly had his Anchorman moment.
