During Sunday playoff coverage after Boston's loss to Philadelphia, the "Gone Fishing" image placed New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and reporter Dianna Russini in a "Titanic" pose.
Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley reacted on air, with Smith and Barkley jokingly avoiding identifying the pair shown on the boat.
