Thread: NFL Network....'We Made Terrible Mistake'

http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2009/11/27/n...rible-mistake/

hahahahahaha

Buy seriously, I don't think anyone would have made a big deal out of it until now when they went public with their mistake, and now there will be a torrent of people complaining how greviously they were offended.

I wish they would show more unedited sideline emotions.

I laughed my ass off when I saw him railing on the players. After the 3rd false start you knew it was coming...All part of the football experience.

I thought it was hilarious! They showed McD yelling at the offense and picked up "We're trying to win the M***** F****** game... What the F***!" on their mics right before they cut to commercial and then Bob Papa had to try to apologize for it after the commercial break. I wonder how much NFLN is going to get fined by the FCC for letting that one slip out!?

I'm about 99% sure that the FCC cannot fine a cable network for language or other content issues. As it isn't broadcast over the air, they don't get to regulate it. If that had happened on Fox, CBS, etc., then I am sure there would be a fine, but since it was a cable channel, I think all they have to worry about is upset subscribers/advertisers.

The NFL cannot do live games.

I think they pull homeless people from off the street to work the cameras.

The producers have no clue what to do with live coverage.

If anyone finds a link tthat would be cool. I never saw it. The media doesnt want to describe what was said. . I dont have nfl network, dangit

There is a thread on here started by MissourriBronc that has a video clip.

Although in the local markets, the game was simulcast on FOX who also had to apologize after the game for what happened. I wonder if that will make any difference.
*shrug*

I was on the phone with my wife when it happened, then it broke to commercial. When it came back I heard Papa apologizing...I asked my wife what he was apologizing for and she explained. I laughed.

Loved every minute of it too! There were so many times I wished Shanahan would've done that.

After that series the players should count themselves lucky he didn't pull a bench off the ground and start beating them to death, talk about reality TV. After that truly, truly horrifying series of play I think the networks got off easy with just a few profane words.

I loved it. classic.

Big deal. If you listen closely to most games on a Sunday afternoon, every now and then you will hear an obscenity thrown in there. It's the nature of the game and it usually falls on deaf ears anyway (as most field noise is drowned out by the crowd).

One cool thing to do is if you can separate the announcer's audio from the game audio, you hear a lot more..
