Sports Anchors Cursing On Air: A Video Retrospective

by Dan Fogarty | 1:18 pm, March 5th, 2011

In the wake of Bobby Knight’s little flare-up on ESPN College Gameday earlier today, we figured it would be good to look back at some other instances of sports anchors cursing on air.

Included in the video below (which was posted by YouTube user CurleyHallman) is Lawrence Frank’s infamous F-bomb from First Take, Charles Barkley‘s “you guys are assholes” from TNT’s Inside the NBA, and, of course, Chris Berman going completely and utterly for broke (although, to be fair, he wasn’t exactly on air at the time).

Enjoy.
