Troy Aikman just said the following:
"Hard to get it up when you're looking between your legs".

I used to work in TV in Indiana and the grapevine story behind "Boom goes the Dynamite" was that the kid was actually a producer and was just filling in at the last minute because the regular sports guy was sick/late or something. I heard it secondhand (a guy I worked with had worked with another guy who was on the shoot) so take it with a grain of salt.

In 1994, the Canadian Olympic hockey team fell in the gold medal game after a heartbreaking shootout against Sweden. CTV reporter Rod Black buttonholed winger Todd Hlushko coming off the ice. On live TV, Black pointed out that Hlushko's father, while on his deathbed, had urged him to bring home a gold medal. Hlushko's father then passed away shortly before the Games. What, Black asked, would his father think of the team winning only silver?
