I’m not really sure what a bulging disk is or how painful it might be, but anytime a broadcaster tries to say it on live television it almost always comes out the same way.
Jane Slater, of the NFL Network, was talking about Dallas Cowboy’s offensive tackle Tyron Smith and his history of physical injuries when she slipped up talking about his most recent health concern.
Ummm… Excuse me @SlaterNFL? What was Tyron Smith of the @dallascowboys dealing with last season? pic.twitter.com/dO4vIY0iE8

“If you’ll remember, last year he was dealing with a bulging dick . . . disc issue, rather in his lower back,” she said on live television Wednesday afternoon.
LT Tyron Smith out today with back stiffness. Jason Garrett not sure if he will practice Thursday. Being careful with it #Cowboys

It seems like Slater was able to laugh it off though. After the clip started swirling around Twitter, the sportscaster tweeted about the moment herself.
Live tv is the greatest. You know what I meant

“Live tv is the greatest. You know what I meant.”
Way to take it in stride, Jane.
Thanks for giving those watching at home a little laugh because this pre-season nonsense is already getting old.
