This brings to mind a story that Bob Costas told on himself from his days as the play-by-play man for the ABA's Spirits of St. Louis. From St. Louis magazine:
There were some early growing pains, as detailed in Terry Pluto’s essential oral history, Loose Balls: The Short, Wild Life of the American Basketball Association.
In the first game of the Spirits’ inaugural season, the team took a
seemingly insurmountable lead, only to lose it in the final minutes.
During the second game, with the clock winding down and the Spirits out
in front again, Costas proclaimed, “It would seem that the Spirits have
this one well in hand, but you can bet that the last thing coach Bob
MacKinnon wants to see is a repeat of Friday night’s blow job.”
