AUDIO: 10yrs of Jim Jackson Sneaking Phrases into Flyers Broadcasts for Preston & Steve
The archives are a little are a little fuzzy, but from what we can decipher, it looks like this all started in November of 2010. The Preston & Steve Show dared Flyers play-by-play announcer Jim Jackson to sneak the phrase “Jabroni” into the broadcast at some point of the game as a nod to all the WMMR listeners. JJ was resistant, but he did it, and just like that, a monster was born.
JJ was challenged to say many over the years he included phrases like: Sarsaparilla, Kerfuffle, Stop Thinking About Clams, Cheeseballs, Kismet & Old Funky Chicken. Listen to this montage of (almost) all of them:
This contest has ended. Congratulations to Mike from Drexel Hill who called in with the correct time: 7:31pm.
We did it again! Jim Jackson will say a new phrase during the game on Tuesday, February 25, 2020. Watch & Win contest details:
- Watch the game tonight on NBC Sports Philadelphia
- When you hear JJ say: “Somebody peel some shrimp because this gumbo is just getting started” write down the time of day that it happens (not game clock time, time of day)
- Listen for Preston & Steve to ask for the time on Wednesday morning. One lucky winner will score a pair of tickets in the NBC Sports Philadelphia suite for the March 10th Flyers game versus the Bruins.
