The hot mic is always something broadcasters fear. Viewers generally like it because we actually get honesty from public figures on a wide range of topics. And on Sunday, we got some of that honesty from San Francisco 49ers announcer Tim Ryan.
At the end of the Cowboys first drive, which resulted in a missed field goal, I began getting tweets from people asking me if I heard what Ryan said about 49ers defensive tackle Mike Purcell. People were saying Ryan called Purcell garbage. I was not listening to the radio broadcast, so I did nothing with that.
