Jim Nantz had a vulgar slip of the tongue on Steelers-Pats call
Jim Nantz probably has a lot on his mind this season as he learns to work with J.J. Watt and wonders whether he’ll work with Tony Romo again. So much on his mind that it might make the words come out a little differently than intended. That was on display Sunday afternoon when Nantz struggled…
CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz experienced an unfortunate slip of the tongue during a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots on CBS Sunday afternoon. Late in the third quarter, Nantz struggled to choose between the words kick and punt. He uttered "k*nt" instead of "kick," drawing attention to the slip. Johnston punted eight times during the Steelers' poor offensive performance, and Nantz correctly used the word "punt" seven times.
However, the word he mistakenly blurted out has garnered the most attention. This incident adds to the many challenges Nantz faces this season, including adapting to working with J.J. Watt and uncertain prospects regarding his future with CBS following Tony Romo's suspension. Broadcasters often exercise caution when discussing topics like "bulging disc," and Nantz's slip serves as a reminder of the importance of carefully selecting one's words before speaking.
