HEAT OF THE F$%*ING MOMENT: 9 Superb Instances Of In-Game Profanity

by Matt Rudnitsky | 5:21 pm, June 20th, 2012

I wonder if the nickname will stick.

Athletes curse all the time, yes, but it’s not usually caught on camera (or by a sideline microphone). When it is, those adrenaline-induced outbursts provide just the type of YouTube fodder the internet-savvy sports fan has come to know and love. So in honor of Dwyane Wade’s celebratory MF bomb after last night’s Miami win, here are nine fantastic instances of athlete profanity being broadcast to a wider audience than was originally intended.

1.LeBron James And The Cramp-Induced Cuss

Dwyane Wade wasn't the only Heat player whose potty mouth was on display last night. Here's LeBron, writhing in pain from his leg cramp in the fourth quarter of last night's Game 4. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: Major Payne.

2.Peyton Manning

During a 2010 Monday Night Football game, the Colts threw the ball three-straight times, all incomplete. Jeff Saturday thought it was a good idea to tell Peyton they should've ran the ball. It wasn't. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: Will Ferrell in Wedding Crashers.

3.Peyton Manning (Again)

In 2010, the Colts were playing the Ravens. The offense was driving, in the red-zone, when Peyton's O-line made a bit of a mishap. And if you're on Peyton Manning's offensive line, you better have it together, Donald. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: Frustrated Coach Of Untalented Son.

4.Andrew Bynum Just Wants The Ball (And To Swear)

In a preseason game a few years ago, Andrew Bynum thought he owned the paint. Bynum just wanted the damn ball, but nobody would give it to him. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: Kindergartener Who Wants Cookie, Can't Share.

5.Latrell Sprewell Does Not Care For You And Your Court-Level Seats

The year was 2004, and then-Timberwolf Latrell Sprewell was years-removed from the P.J. Carlesimo choking incident. During a regular season game, he drove hard to the hoop, made the bucket, and, for whatever reason, really let some fan have it. It would result in a one-game suspension from the NBA's mouth-soap disciplinarian, David Stern. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: Dropping Bombs Out of Nowhere.

6.Ervin Santana Only Lives Once

During a regular season game in 2009, Ervin Santana pitched a gem, going 8.2 innings, allowing just one run on six hits, and striking out seven (all while sporting a bloody nose). The postgame interview was legendary. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: Kid Who Swears By "YOLO."

7.Mardy Thinks Your Excuse Is Fishy

In 2008, Mardy Fish was leading Paul-Henri Matheiu, when the Frenchman called for what Mardy thought was a questionable injury timeout. Fish called out Matheiu, saying that "everybody calls the trainer when they lose four games in a row." Then, things got even more heated. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: 12-Year Old Who Didn't Get His Way.

8.Roger Federer

In 2006, Roger Federer was in a rare tight match, playing Dmitry Tursunov. After a bad misfire, the normally-cool Swiss legend broke. SWEAR EFFICIENCY RATING: Regretful Priest.

9.Roger Federer (Again)

At the 2009 U.S. Open, Federer lost his cool with the chair umpire's lenience for Juan Martin Del Potro's slow play. And when Federer curses, he makes it worth your while. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: Tony Soprano.

10.Charles Barkley, The King Of Swearing

In 2010, Charles Barkley was fed up with his fellow analyst Kenny Smith, and let it be known in typical Barkley fashion. And when asked about his producer, Barkley didn't hide his feelings... also in typical Barkley fashion.

Ah, the old cough to cover up a curse word. Not fooling us, Charles! He may only be a former athlete, but this double-whammy was too good to leave off the list. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: Uh... Charles Barkley. He's one-of-a-kind.

11.Heather Nedohin

During the 2012 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, star curler (so I'm told) Heather Nedohin was angry, I'm assuming because she's in a tournament sponsored by a tissue brand that isn't even Kleenex. SWEAR WORD EFFICIENCY RATING: Clever Middle-Schooler.
