VIDEO: NBC Hot Mic Picks up Rogue F-Bomb in the Middle of Eagles vs Cowboys
By Mark Powell
It isn't a nationally televised football game without some rogue cursing. In what's become a weekly tradition, an NBC hot mic picked up what appears to be an upset player, or fan, reacting to a penalty.
While we don't want to assume who was actually the culprit behind that insult, we're especially impressed with how loud this game across on national television. NBC may be hearing from the FCC on this one. And no, we aren't kidding you.
As much as fans enjoy getting an up close and personal look at what goes on in the field of play during a pro football game, this is a natural side effect. Sure, in an ideal world the production crew would have time to edit that out, but in a live TV situation it's simply impossible, and the crew is at the mercy of the players. That level of trust, clearly, doesn't always work out well for them.
