What Did Nicholson say?

This from an e-mailer:

If his name wasn't Dale Nicholson, I think he would be fired right offthe set today. On the Saturday, June 23rd, 6pm newscast, he just introed the sports by saying, "Nolan Richardson has just reared his uglyhead for a coaching job." Wow, trying to turn a phrase is not smart,especially for a white guy.
