I'm watching Denver and NY Giants and they come back from a commercial and Josh McDaniels screams out "all we're trying to do is win a mother fucking game.." The announcers have since apologized on behalf of the network. Funny.

I mean, who decided that these certain words were taboo anyway. Words are just words. It was probably the same asshole that decided a coat and a tie look "professional." It's just yarn tied around your neck. That shit is for queers.

i was watching a basketball game on espn the other day and the mic picked up the one coach saying "you gotta be shitting me".

i remember a few years back when the browns had that game where the fans were throwing beer bottles onto the field. the mic up in the booth was picking up a lot of cursing. it was cool listening to it on surround, field like the fans were yelling all around you haha.

NFL Network is ripping off the freedom of speech standard that freehuddle.com is setting for all major media outlets. :D

Jason Whitten got up after an incompletion in the first quarter, and, upon thinking he was interfered with said "you've gotta be fucking kidding me" I had a nice chuckle :)

its always funny too when they do a close up of people and you can tell what they are saying just by reading their lips. the announcers always says something to try and cover it up.

I was cursing when I saw the game's score. The way the Steelers are struggling, they need these other AFC contenders to be dropping games to NFC teams.....

The best is when a guy is coming off after a turnover or something and walks right past a sound bubble... you get some good material out of those moments...

Time to grow up, son. Out here in the real world, we do what accepted, and is expected in a professional environment.

I've turned on Comedy Central a few times on late night. I can't tell you how many comedians there are on there they do not edit one bit. Since when did this start happening? I have heard every word in the book from those men and women...I was totally surprised when I first heard it and it still baffles me.

After 1am, cable stations can pretty much air whatever language they want. Safe haven law.

That doesn't change the fact that all of these "standards" are completely arbitrary. Sure, we all still follow them... but they still did come from some dumbass completely out of nowhere.

But thank you for your stereotypical "I was born in between 1940-1960 and therefore am just awesome" rant.

You are right....words are just words. The difference is the words you choose have meaning.

If you decide a few F-bombs drive your point home so be it.

But for me, a certain degree of class and professionalism coming from the "experts" lend a lot more credibility to the argument. I'd rather not hear the F-bombs.

But I do have a choice don't I? I can simply change the channel.

My roommate loves that video. He showed it to me a few weeks back. I laugh everytime. The guys voice when he says "I know" is what gets me

Wouldn't it have been great if the interviewer in the Shaq video replied "I know, asshole?"

And judging from what is coming off as jealousy, it's for people that obviously make a whole lot more money then you do.
