Mostly reliable WFAN evening host Chris Moore -- who was shitcanned before the pandemic and is lucky to have a NY job -- chalked the incident off to "bad luck". Jesus.

 

“Hey, Blondie, how’s your old tomato?”​

That was in 1975, after the Warriors knocked off Seattle in the West semis.

I'm assuming you mean Ken Korach's book. You'll love it. One of those I wore out quickly reading all the old Raiders and Warriors stores, lost, and just recently got another copy.

Comprehensive flyover here:

Always always always assume the microphone is on.

 

WGN and TBS broadcasts used to do this too.
