Roger Federer’s Microphone Cut Out Ironically Blamed On “RF Interference”

Posted by Dan Levy.

By now you’ve seen the video of Roger Federer’s interview after securing a spot in the US Open semifinals (if not, see below) where he talks about how great it is to be a dad but that the kids have ruined his chances of getting…NOTHING TO SEE HERE MOVE ALONG…

Gwen Stefani thinks you are a randy man, Roger. A randy man.

Per the incomparable nose-to-the-grindstone media reporting of Richard Deitsch at SI, ESPN did not tape delay the interview and drop the sound on Federer’s obvious joke about getting some action with the wife. It was hilariously blamed on “RF interference.”

Deitsch Tweets:

Says an ESPN spokesperson: “The sound went dead for a few seconds, causing instant panic in the truck until the sound came back. The interruption was due to RF (radio frequency) interference. It makes more for good internet fodder but Roger was live.”

So ESPN did not cut the sound to sanitize their broadcast. Dang. Hey, at least the PR people have a good sense of humor about it.
