Jim Nantz did the unthinkable during the Detroit Lions vs. Buffalo Bills
clash on Thanksgiving Day. Throwing caution out the window, Nantz emphatically denounced the “announcer jinx” while boldly declaring that Michael Badgley, who hadn’t missed a field goal all season, would certainly convert on a 29-yard attempt late in the third quarter. Naturally, the universe responded as Badgley
shanked the chip shot, ultimately proving that not even the
most experienced commentators can escape the grasp of the announcer jinx.
