File this one under ‘you don’t hear that every day.’

On Wednesday night, during a thrilling Toronto Raptors game, broadcasters Jack Armstrong and Matt Devlin were hyped when Sandro Mamukelashvili finally sank a three-point shot.

While it was a big deal in the third quarter of a tightly-contested game, no one could have predicted their reaction.

Once Mamukelashvili hit the shot, Devlin screamed into his microphone.

“Oh, Jack! Hallelujah!”

That’s when their commentary sounded like it was bordering on the ‘not safe for work’ level.

“I’m coming! Uhhhh, I’m coming! Uhhhh!” Devlin could be heard saying.

Sure, it was the Raptors’ first three-pointer of the game after missing their first 18 attempts from outside the arc, but Devlin’s reaction was next level.

Someone grab the Kleenex box.

“Tears are flowing in the broadcast booth!” Devlin said.

While the overly excited commentary from the booth was likely a headscratcher for most fans watching, there was a much more innocent rationale for the call.

Before Devlin and Armstrong both started shouting, “I’m coming,” Armstrong provided a historical pop culture reference for context.

“I feel like Redd Fox in Sanford and Son. I think I’m gonna have the big one right now.”

“Take it easy, I’m coming!”

Sanford and Son was a sitcom that ran from 1972 to 1977, featuring main character, Fred Sanford, played by actor Redd Fox. 

On the show, Foxx would often fake a heart attack, saying phrases along the lines of “Oh, this is the big one! You hear that, Elizabeth? I’m coming to join you, honey!”

The issue? Viewers under the age of 50 likely had no idea what Armstrong was referring to.

Regardless of your interpretation, the call is an easy nominee for one of the top broadcasting moments of the new year.

Armstrong and Devlin weren’t the only broadcast duo at the Raptors’ dramatic 97-96 win over the Charlotte Hornets to have a hilarious moment in the booth.

With the Raptors trailing by two points in the dying seconds, Immanuel Quickley lined up to take a three-point shot to win the game.

“Oh no,” Collins said as Quickley let the ball fly.

Once he sank the shot, Collins’ voice rose a few octaves.

“Ohhhhh!” he screamed! “Nooooo! Immanuel Quickley wins it for Toronto!”

Although it’s early in 2026, there might not be a better double-whammy in terms of broadcast hilarity this calendar year.
