On Royals’ ‘Game of Thrones’ night, Rex Hudler comes up with a doozy
Did you know that if you have Alexa device in your home, you can ask it to quote Fox Sports Kansas City broadcaster Rex Hudler?
Well, here’s a new one for Alexa: “I’m not a big Star Wars fan.”
Yeah, he proved that on Wednesday, which was “Game of Thrones” night at Kauffman Stadium. The Season 7 premier of “Game of Thrones” had record ratings on Sunday, but I confess I’ve never seen an episode.
However, I have heard of the show. Hudler apparently hasn’t, because when his broadcast partner Ryan Lefebvre mentioned “Game of Thrones” during Wednesday’s broadcast, it led to a humorous moment.
Hudler thought it was a “Star Wars” movie, which led to a pregnant pause from Lefebvre. Obviously, this is not a big deal, but it made for a funny exchange and fans had a good laugh about it.
Lefebvre: "It's Game of Thrones night at The K"

Hud: "Is that a Star Wars Movie?"
Lefebvre *silence*
Hud: "I'm not a big Star Wars fan"
@RexHudler When we are losing you are the ONLY thing that saves the game for me. You would not like Game of Thrones.

I'm a few minutes behind, but Rex Hudler calling Game Of Thrones a Star Wars movie is my favorite moment of season.

Later in the game, Hudler and Lefebvre shared a laugh about it:
It doesn't sound like Hud caught the latest GoT episode... pic.twitter.com/dxkWQ0T9AP

It’s possible that Hudler knows something we don’t. How does “Star Wars Episode IX: Game of Thrones,” strike you?
