Chase Utley's World Series 'F-Bomb' Brought Out the Politically Correct Whiners to the FCC

Chase Utley, as you know, said a naughty word on live television after the Phillies won the World Series. Yes, it was inappropriate, and yes, he probably should have thought before he spoke, but considering that Philly really needed a title in any sport, I think most people were willing to overlook the fact that he said "F---" on television.

Okay, maybe not. Turns out the FCC got a whole slew of complaints from prude awesome people.
"If they didn't want such words to be broadcast, they should have aired [it] on a delay to catch any obscene language," wrote a viewer from Philadelphia. "Pull their license to broadcast." Another viewer wrote: "He should be disciplined for his lack of respect towards his fans and in particular the children exposed to such vulgarity. . . . The broadcasters are not at fault. Chase Utley is."
So, yeah, someone -- that being a television station -- will probably get in trouble for this. And then, hopefully, once you add in DVR time, we'll end up watching sports on a 24-hour delay, just to make sure we don't see or hear anything dirty, sexy or violent.

Juan Pablo Montoya Was "A Little Pissed Off"

about not being able to catch Jimmie Johnson today.

And he said so on national TV!

Didn't anybody tell him you can't do that?

The FCC is coming for Fox. They'll be slapped with a fine for allowing one of the seven dirty words to make it to air.

Fox will pass the fine on to NASCAR and NASCAR will slap their own fine on Montoya.

There will be shouts of horror, discussion of time delays and The Parents Television Council will have a letter out to their members before I'm done posting this because millions of children have been scarred for life.

But all I want to know is if NASCAR is going to dock points from JPM like they did from Dale Earnhardt Jr. when he said the 'S' word after winning in 'Dega in 2004.

If he is shown favoritism there will be outrage! At least from me!
