Talk about a “power play” gone horribly wrong: Veteran Philadelphia Flyers announcer Tim Saunders just learned the hard way that in radio, the mic is always mightier than the sword, and usually much more “turned on” than you think.

During a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Saunders thought he had successfully sent the broadcast to a commercial break. Feeling a bit too relaxed in the booth, he decided to drop a line that was definitely not in the media guide. After a few moments of silence, thinking he was safely in commercial break, Saunders piped up with: “While you’re down there, would you mind blowing me?”

It might be when you’re used to describing guys “going hard to the net,” the terminology just spills over.

His partner, Todd Fedoruk, attempted a veteran defensive save, quickly whispering, “I think we’re still on the air, Tim.” Saunders, apparently thinking he was being “poked” by a prankster, let out a laugh before realizing he had just delivered the most memorable play-by-play of his 40-year career to every car radio in the Delaware Valley.

The Flyers organization, realizing this wasn’t exactly the “family-friendly friction” they promote, handed Saunders a two-game suspension. They released a statement saying, “We are aware of the inappropriate comment made during last night’s radio broadcast in the TV timeout of the Flyers-Sabres game. These remarks do not reflect the standards of conduct or values we expect from anyone associated with our organization … We take this matter very seriously and sincerely apologize to our listeners, fans and those affected by these comments.”

Saunders issued a heartfelt apology on Friday, admitting, “During last night’s game in Buffalo, I made an error in judgement with my comments that were made when I thought we were in a commercial break. I recognize how offensive my remarks were, and the harm it has caused. I take full responsibility and sincerely apologize to the Flyers, 97.5 The Fanatic and all those affected by my remarks. To all Flyers fans and listeners of our broadcast, I promise that I will hold myself to a higher standard moving forward to ensure our broadcast is a safe and respectful place everyone can enjoy.”

For now, Saunders is on ice.

The Justice Department released hundreds of thousands of pages — all related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — to the public on Friday, including several never-before-seen photos of former President Bill Clinton with the disgraced financier.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed that, thus far, the investigation had uncovered some 1,200 victims — whose names and identifying information have been redacted in order to protect them — and that the same treatment had been given to the names of those who were serving as government officials or were considered to be politically connected.

“Today, the Department of Justice publicly released materials related to Jeffrey Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Additional responsive materials will be produced as our review continues, consistent with the law and with protections for victims,” Blanche posted, sharing a link to the files.

Blanche sent a letter to Congress on Friday — which was obtained by Fox News Digital — explaining what had been included in the release and what had been redacted.

We write to notify you that today the Department of Justice is producing hundreds of thousands of pages of responsive materials in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi, this unprecedented disclosure highlights our commitment to following the law, being transparent, and protecting victims.

Included in the files released Friday were a number of new photos — including a few of Bill Clinton in a pool with convicted Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and in a hot tub with at least one unidentified female whose face has been redacted. According to the Justice Department’s own process, the only faces that would be redacted would be those of minors, alleged victims, and government officials.

Blanche also told “Fox & Friends” on Friday that “several hundred thousand” more documents won’t be released until the coming weeks.

“The most important thing that the attorney general has talked about, that [FBI Director Kash] Patel has talked about, is that we protect victims, and so what we are doing is we are looking at every single piece of paper that we are going to produce, making sure that every victim, their name, their identity, their story to the extent that it needs to be protected is completely protected.”

Some of the documents released on Friday included flight logs, a list of some 200 masseuses that is almost fully redacted, a client list belonging to Epstein, several new photos — most of which are at least partially redacted — and evidence files from the case against Maxwell. It is unclear as yet how much of the information is new and how much has been included in previous releases.

It is also unclear how many of the redactions were made to protect the integrity of any ongoing investigations or pending litigation.
