On-Air Meltdown By Ted Leitner Over Security During Game

DETROIT (97.1 THE TICKET) - You've really got to pick your moment to make a move. This theme should now resonate clearly with a security guard on hand during a recent game for the San Diego State Aztecs.

Famed broadcaster Ted Leitner was doing play-by-play in the final minute and a half of a one-point championship thriller between the Aztecs and New Mexico when a security guard decided that was the optimal time to get Leitner's attention and have him move a suitcase.

The request didn't go over that well.

According to Deadspin.com Leitner went off ...  "Unbelievable! These people are unbelievable in this arena. They got security guards, think they're guarding the Pentagon. [...] Stupid! Totally stupid. [...] These morons think the terrorists are honing in here on the Mountain West tournament in Las Vegas. "

New Mexico won the game 64-58.
