Longtime Cincinnati Reds announcer Thom Brennaman was caught on a hot mic saying “one of the pillowbiter capitals of the world.” He is currently announcing the second game of the Reds’ doubleheader against Kansas City. pic.twitter.com/Uwz07eRIKv

2 1/2 Years ago the Wife and I were on our way to the Highlands of Scotland. Had to spend a couple of days in Manchester goofing off in Lancashire (my birthplace).
We went to a local pub for dinner and a couple of drinks...I went up to the bar to order a couple of refills and a "gentleman" beside me asked me if I had a "pillowbiter".....I looked down at my crotch and said - "Nope, I think I'd notice if I had one......" :-)
The guy looked astounded and walked off saying "damned Yanks".....
Thought my Wife was going to piss herself, she was laughing so hard.. [Reply]

He's a closet pole smoker, most likely. So disgusted by the homos that he's gonna make a stop by Missy B's bathroom wearing his chapstick necklace. [Reply]
"I am very, very sorry. I beg for your forgiveness." Jim Day will be the play-by-play announcer for the rest of the game. Chris Welsh told Brennaman that he's a good man and to hang in there. #Reds

That was my first thought. I don't even cuss at work. Because you just never know who's listening, and getting sacked for some stupid comment is just retarded. [Reply]

I mean, was he drunk or something?
This just seems really odd and random. I know I’ve heard announcers coming back from commercials having side conversations but you’d think he’d be more careful.

What a dipshit.
Who knows. i think people sometimes get too comfortable at work, especially when they've been working at the same place or for the same company for decades. And then they do or say something dumb because they feel like they're at home.
Him and his dad are legends in Cincy. His dad just retired last year after like 40 or 50 years calling Reds games. Now there aren't going to be any Brennaman's on air. [Reply]
