Remy breaks out the air guitar before a Red Sox game

NESN’s Tom Caron cut to Remy during the pregame show but Jerry could barely hold it together for his analysis of Red Sox starter Julian Tavarez’s performance from the previous game. What was it that had Remy struggling to regain his composure on the air?

"“I just fell off a table, that’s why I’m laughing,” Remy revealed."

Of course, this led to many wondering how he fell, which TC was able to confirm with video evidence. Remy was getting himself hyped to go on the air by rocking out with some air guitar. The clip shows Remy strumming away on his imaginary instrument, presumably along to the tunes flowing through his headset. Suddenly, he stumbles backward. His attempt to catch the ledge of the window overlooking Fenway Park fails as Remy goes crashing to the floor.

Thankfully, the only thing that was injured during the fall was his pride. In typical RemDawg style, he was able to laugh along with us. Remy’s impromptu musical performance showed us a glimpse of his loveable personality and his ability to brush off his embarrassing spill with a laugh proved he wasn’t one to take himself too seriously.
