Commentator Chip Caray's shocking slip of the tongue during Pride night commercial goes viral
A baseball commentator suffered an unfortunate slip of the tongue at the worst possible time on Saturday. St. Louis Cardinals announcer Chip Caray was asked to read a Disability Pride promo during the fourth inning of their game against the Cincinnati Reds. But he accidentally mispronounced 'flag', turning the word into an unintentional homophobic slur. 'Disability Pride Night is July 10 and with a themed ticket fans take home a Cardinals cap featuring the Disability Pride f**', Caray said before correcting himself to say 'flag'. There was then a painful silence that lasted around 30 seconds after the mistake as the game continued in the background. Caray's colleague Brad Thompson finally broke the silence by commenting on a pitch that was called for a ball. Fans quickly flocked to social media to comment on the humiliating error and share their thoughts. One posted: 'Uh oh, thats a rough one lol'. Another commented: 'Loudest silence I've ever heard lol'. A third added: 'It was an obvious slip of the tongue just a simple apology and move on.' 'The silence after is the apology he's obviously mortified and probably has a thousand thoughts running in his head,' another viewer said. 'He should not be reprimanded. It was literally a slip of the tongue. I highly doubt Caray is running around using that word. People need to focus on real outrage.'

Tyreek Hill gives vulgar verdict on Buffalo Bills players amid feud with team
Tyreek Hill has offered a brutal verdict on Buffalo Bills players as he continued his feud with the team. The wide receiver has previously called the team's fans 'stupid as hell' and claimed they had CTE because of their propensity to jump through tables. And the wide receiver had more fighting words for the franchise on Saturday at Fanatics Fest as he referred to their players as 'a bunch of b****es.' Speaking about the way they set up defensively, Hill reportedly said: 'Whenever we play the Bills, those guys typically play Cover Four because they're a bunch of b****es.' Cover 4 is a zone-style defense that aims to prevent deep completions down the field. And that strategy has mostly kept Hill in check, as he's averaged just 57.7 receiving yards in six games against Buffalo while playing for Miami. Hill has mostly been kept in check by the Bills while suiting up for the Miami Dolphins In fact, the speedy receiver has never topped 100 yards against the Bill dating back to his time with the Chiefs. Hill previously criticized Bills supporters when asked by streamer Adin Ross if there was a fanbase he disliked. 'I don't f*** with the Bills. F*** — every time we — bro, when I used to play in Kansas City, bro it was always "f*** the Bills" every time we played against them. And we f***ed them up every time,' he said. Hill had a down year in 2024 as he dealt with a wrist injury, failing to top 1,000 yards for the first time since 2019 (when he played just 12 games). However, he still believed in his speed enough to agree to race Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles in a 100-meter race. The competition had been in the works for months but Lyles revealed this week that he had pulled out of the race for 'personal reasons. 'We were very deep into creating the event. In fact, it was supposed to happen this weekend,' Lyles said from Stagwell's Sport Beach at Cannes Lions on Monday. 'Unfortunately there were some things, complications, personal reasons that it just didn't come to pass, but we were full on. 'We were gonna have a big event, we were going to shut down New York Times Square and everything, we were gonna have all the billboards for the event, it was going to be a lot of fun.' Hill, who recently posted a 10.15-second 100-meter performance at the Last Chance Sprint Series, subsequently took to social media to mock the gold medalist sprinter. First, the former Super Bowl champion posted the famous Homer Simpson meme, showing the beloved Simpsons character disappearing into some bushes alongside the caption: '[Lyles] after seeing me race last weekend.' Hill also posted pictures of himself on a track with a sign reading: 'Noah Could Never.'
