Tony is the man. You can’t be flaming on him because he had a minor slip, hes only human. Knowing Tony from watching PTI for the better part of around three years it was probably a dodgy attempt at humour.

Don’t hate, appreciate…

Yeah he was just reaching. Something he does quite a bit of the entire broadcast.

I think I know what he was going for:

“I took high school Spanish, either he said he’s not going to be caught, or please pick up my dry cleaning tomorrow.”

I believe he is making fun of his own inability to speak Spanish. He’s referring to the fact that he doesn’t understand what the Spanish announcer was saying about the Jones return, so he threw in the dry cleaning line as an either/or proposition. It would have been funnier had he said:

“I took high school Spanish, either he said he’s not going to be caught, or the bathroom (or library) is in the back.”

Those of us that took Spanish might actually laugh at that, because first and second year Spanish consists a lot of “Where is the library?” or “Where is the bathroom”-type conversation.

Why he chose to go the dry cleaning route, I have no idea.

Hey Big Al, its spelled “Kosher”. and don’t come back with some anti-semetic retort, it’s unncessary

Tony sucks and is pretty much the living embodiment of Larry David’s character on Curb

Dude he had to apologize bc he said some homophobic stuff. The camera panned to one of the Dallas Trainers massaging someones back and he said something to the regard of “that doesn’t look so coshure” referring to it as being gay. Either way the dude sucks

This is so wrong - it’s the Chinese that do laundry. Unless he’s talking about sombreros.

I think Tony has an apology quota. 1 per broadcast, on general principle.

Or at least he should.

Really, why is he there?
