Funny as this snowballing incident is, this is one instance where an embarrassing moment is entirely not on Kerr. Whoever was producing the game should be chewed out; his on air talent finds improv a struggle at best, and you just throw him a product to shout out in the nine seconds between when they get back from break and the puck drops, and expect him to do a good live read while trying to open the damn package?
I get that someone at the Joe was probably like 'hey, can you give us a quick plug for these?' and they were more than happy to oblige, but how about you have two of them on a friggen paper plate and just display the box? Maybe? I know I've got all of no experience broadcasting or producing, but that seems like a logical decision to me.
