This gets funnier with every watch...

If you've seen the film Anchorman, you'll know that Ron Burgundy has an unfortunate habit of reading whatever appears on his teleprompter - be it the odd rogue question mark or a "go fuck yourself, San Diego" sign-off. Until Sunday night, we weren't aware that this kind of thing actually happened in real life. How wrong we were. Step forward NFL commentator, Dick Stockton... The 74-year-old was on duty for the game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Los Angeles Rams for Fox, when he began to provide viewers with information on the up-coming Visa Halftime Report. Sadly for Dick, this happened... https://twitter.com/Brendan_Tobin/status/919678233997701125 "Look on graphic for the final two bullet points,” he read out, much to the amusement of many of those watching. https://twitter.com/AndyJ0seph/status/919740355880263680 https://twitter.com/Yardboy/status/919678750559817733 https://twitter.com/RadioByrne/status/919679264752103424 Poor bloke.

A brilliant bit of television regardless.
