Random Classic: Lesley Visser screwing up on air during1991 Playoff game



Just 2 years removed from a 1-15 season, Jimmy Johnson had led the young Cowboys back to the playoffs and beat the Bears on the road 17-13. While finding this game and looking over it briefly, I noticed a little gem of Lesley Visser screwing up during a halftime report. Just a small mishap for her in a time before the internet where it could be brushed away from memory quickly....well except if someone recorded the game and uploaded it 20 years later.
This day and age a slight screw up like this will get a lot of attention from blogs and twitter, and the poor reporter will feel embarrassed. Is it right? Nope.But they're all still pretty funny to watch, cause we all love the occasional awkward moment on air.
Lesley is an award winning reporter so messing up on air usually wasn't the norm obviously. But I have noticed a lot of Broadcasters got away with a lot of errors week after week during the innocence of pre Internet times. And I gotta tell ya, it was pretty loveable, and I miss it.

Other stuff I like from the video...
-Madden was so great at this time,his analyses on the guys on the boat is so madden.
-Ditka looking all DITKA like.
-LIKE A RRROCCCKKKKK!
-Oh come on Gardocki!Wheres Kevin Butler?
