Did You Hear? Josh McDaniels Said A Bad Word.

Coaches yelling at their players is nothing new. Hearing a TV announcer apologize for what “accidently made it on the air” may become more common if the sidelines continue to be wired for sound. Such was the case tonight during the Broncos Vs Giants game. We didn’t even catch the incident as it was happening. Probably due to the L- tryptophan effect, so we had to rewind our DVR to figure out what had transpired. As we hunted for the frames depicting McDaniels’ meltdown my husband was fairly confident the head coach was telling his team not to have another false start. Um no. It seems that Josh McDaniels singlehandedly decreased the 7 Words You Can Never Say On Television to 6. He didn’t say “Don’t have another false start during the game.” He said, “We’re just trying to win a motherfucking game.” George Carlin is clapping his hands gleefully from The Great Beyond. I just know it.
Now this brings up an interesting point, should there be microphones on the sidelines and on the field? I’m not convinced they belong. But then again, I’m the type who leaps to turn off the TV after the superbowl because I hate seeing the after effects of the loss. Look, I grew up with Rosey Grier singing about it being alright to cry. And it is. But the cameras rolling on those big tough guys bent over on their bench boo-hooing makes me feel like I am invading their privacy. I just can’t watch. And tonight, the replay of Josh McDaniels losing his shit, felt like eavesdropping. I actually regret the replay in our very own living room.
So do you think we need to intercept every conversation or just let the play stand, silently,on the field ?

My family and I did the same thing... missed the initial display, backed up our DVRs to see what the announcers are talking about. Really, it's none of our business what the coaches say to the athletes to get them to get their acts together.
