We see arguments with referees, on the part of both players and coaches, happen all the time. We might have an idea of what’s being said, but in general, we don’t get the full flavor of the back-and-forth. Today, by accident, we got a much more, um, detailed glimpse.

Last year, when GQ did a comedy issue, the self-described theme of it was, “What’s never not funny?” Well, we don’t remember if “people cursing on programs that: 1) air live, and 2) are not supposed to feature cursing” was featured anywhere in the magazine, but we can safely say it is, indeed, never not funny.

Jimmie Johnson’s no. 48 Chevy gave out with five laps to go, and his crew chief was a little upset.

During Saturday’s ESPN telecast of the Oklahoma City – Dallas game, there was a slight mishap when the studio guys went to sideline reporter Doris Burke. And by “slight mishap,” I mean it looked like Burke had no idea she was on TV.

Baseball players are cursing loudly on TV, which can only mean one thing: the changing of the seasons is approaching.

CBS microphones picked up an N-bomb from UConn’s Kemba Walker right before he was interviewed by Mr. Masters himself, Jim Nantz. Luckily, we have video of that one shining moment.

On the way to UConn not losing the national championship tonight, a microphone accidentally picked up a curse and sent it out on the air. This was much, much more entertaining than the game itself.

Wayne Rooney is angry. The Manchester United star made that much clear when he cursed at TV cameras following his third goal against West Ham on Saturday.

Apparently, in Bobby Knight’s world, you can say “chicken shit” at least once on live TV.

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.
