Sideline gig opening at ESPN?

[SockPuppet]

ESPN2 had to apologize for a profanity uttered at the end of the first half of Friday night's Oklahoma-Tulsa game.
Sideline reporter Joe Shad was interview Bob Stoops and had trouble with his wireless mic. After the interview, Shad could be heard saying "Did we have a mic issue. ****. I'm sorry.''
Oh well, tough to make that transition from print to TV.

****, yeah.

What the F_CK was that? [/Danyelle Sargent]

And the third quarter is nearly over and no reports from sideline reporter Joe Shad.

 

[earlyentry]

Is there a chance we can steal Colleen Dominguez away from OJ 2.0 story.

 

[Lucas Wiseman]

He just came on with a report.

 

[hockeybeat]

I know Shaddy a little bit and he's a very good guy and a very conscientious reporter. ESPN is not going to fire him.

 

[Jeremy Goodwin]

"sorry Les (Miles in last sideline report)," but not sorry for saying ****.

 

[SockPuppet]

Joe just had a sideline shot ... on an LSU injury report.

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

Joe Schad. S-c-h-a-d.

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

Well done, sir.

 

[spaceman]

Colleen Dominguez RULES

 

[DanOregon]

Great timing for the mic issue to clear up - just in time for Schad to drop an s-bomb.

 

[Moondoggy]

Well, you know what they say.
**** happens.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Let's not be a bunch of 74-year-old virgin spinsters. Everyone watching that football game has heard "****" before. And I imagine virtually everyone watching that football game has said "****" before. It was an accident on live TV and not a calculated offensive thing like Janet Jackson popping a titty out during the Super Bowl.

 

[SockPuppet]

sure there have been words like **** and **** uttered on the sidelines and picked up by a mic.

But if you're a professional and you are anywhere around a live mic at NO TIME do you utter the s or f words.

Are networks required to apologize for language like that to avoid an FCC fine?

It's ESPN. It's not an over-the-air network. For the most part, the FCC is powerless.

If they fine ESPN for having it aired once they had better of fined Comedy Central for saying it like 400 times in one episode of South Park.
If I remember reading Wikipedia correctly, they didn't get fined at all.
No way they do **** to ESPN.
