Did I just hear an F-bomb on NBC?

[KJIM]

CBC did nothing. God love 'em for once ...

My CBC out of Windsor muted it. I heard "fu--" and then nothing. Had no idea what the second word was, but I did catch it was Ray Whitney.

I do wish the announcers would just shut up during the celebrations. I never know if it's Cole or Neale, but God, I just wanted to strangle the one who kept butting in with all those dramatic comments: "30 teams in the NHL." Duh. One champion, I get it. Now shut up and let me watch them pass the Cup.

Probably NBC does it, too, but I'll never know firsthand because I won't watch it given a choice.. And I muted the TV myself shortly after "fu--."

You've never heard of this either ...

You forgot this beauty. It's really a Pepsi/Coke debate.....

Yes, the righties should be all over this one.

This should cost NBC big time.

Hey now, hey now... I'm a rightie, and I don't think it's worth the hassle. It happened at 11pm, anyway.

Besides, who was watching (besides myself)... the last I checked, Stanley Cup hockey was rated below kangaroo boxing and wet T-shirt wrestling in Jello. (Yes, non-hockey fans, you missed a damn good series).

But it also happened at 10 Central, 9 Mountain, 8 Pacific, 7 Alaskan and 6 Hawaii-Aleutian.

Admit it, Ron, you're banging Kim Possible, aren't you?

You're more than friends, I know that.

Sigh ... it doesn't really matter. I was allowed to have neither when I was a child. Too much sugar. Although I had friends sneak extras to school to give me one every now and then.

Don't blame NBC.
Blame the person who can't control his mouth. Period.
All those groups (like the Wildmans, etc) who go after the networks and DEMAND that everything be put on delay because the media is polluting the minds of young children need to focus on the people who should be blamed, not NBC.

And 12:30 a.m. in Newfoundland.

Admit it, Ron, you're banging Kim Possible, aren't you?

You should see the end of the "So The Drama" movie, when we start macking on the dance floor. Boo-yah!

OK, but why should a player expect to have a live TV camera (with sound) in his face when he's handed the Stanley Cup? Hockey players use bad language very casually. Hockey players who have just won a championship after a nine-month season probably feel a great sense of relief. There might be an expectation that a profanity might come from somebody under those circumstances. In fact, I was waiting for it as NBC lingered on the ice. And, really, after Brind'Amour and Wesley, what was the value in being up close as the Cup was passed around? I don't even know the guy who swore.

He wasn't being interviewed. He was in his domain, which was invaded by live TV. Can't they have a moment to themselves? Or at least a moment without live sound? fork.

Ok, when your kids were born (if you have any), did you scream forkIN' A! on top of your lungs?
They know cameras are there, it is not a private moment.

Why should a hockey player expect to have a live TV camera in his face when he's handed the Stanely Cup? Are you kidding me? That's the money shot. Of course there's going to be cameras and mics there. When else are they going to show up?

Are you fisting me? Been around many athletes in your lifetime? Do you know how many times I've had to edit 'fork' out of a quote? Good Lord, the man just won the forking Stanley Cup. I'm pretty sure pretty Big Ben said holy fork c_unt shirt wart a few times last winter. And I wouldn't blame him.
Or Ray Whitney.
