"San Antonio Spurs announcer Jacob Tobey made the bold decision to experience smelling salts for the first time while on the air to cover Wednesday night's game in Orlando. During a courtside pre-game discussion between Tobey and broadcast partner Sean Elliot, Tobey clutched a small bottle of ammonium carbonate the compound most commonly referred to as smelling salts which is popular among professional athletes, as the jarring sensation in the nostrils make one more alert."
"Before Tobey took a whiff, he admitted that he was nervous and had second thoughts. I'm nervous, he told Elliott. I don't think I'm gonna do it. Elliott, however, insisted and told Tobey he would love to see him do smelling salts on-air. Tobey obliged, and his head immediately shot back in response to the strong sensation. Whoa! Tobey said. I told you! Elliott said with a laugh."
Jacob Tobey, a San Antonio Spurs announcer, tried smelling salts live while covering a Wednesday night game in Orlando. Tobey held a small bottle of ammonium carbonate, the compound commonly called smelling salts and often used by professional athletes to sharpen alertness or to revive an unconscious person. He admitted nervousness and second thoughts before broadcast partner Sean Elliott encouraged him to try them on-air. After Tobey inhaled, his head snapped back from the intense nasal jolt and he exclaimed "Whoa!" Elliott laughed and said he had warned him, and Tobey revealed it was his first time trying smelling salts. Both men reacted with humor, and Tobey indicated he would not repeat the experience.
