On-Air F Bombs
November 21, 2011
There has been a lot of talk about my good friend Lee Corso and his on-set f-bomb. I saw my good friend Herb Street roll his eyes and turn his head away, laughing, after Coach Corso dropped his f-bomb.
The f-bomb has a long history on the ESPN set. My good friend Chris Fowler used to drop them all the time during rehearsals and people would look up in shock then would get away from the set out of fear he would drop another f-bomb in front of their children.
Even my good friend Erin Andrews has been known to drop a few quiet f-bombs during breaks in the action.
I was also pretty notorious for dropping f-bombs at ESPN, which is one more reason why I'm no longer on the air in the studio anymore. They now talk to me at home, so if I drop f-bombs it doesn't impact anyone, they can cut away or hit the mute button.
Sometimes the urge to drop an f-bomb can just be mood related. You are having a long day, you ate some food that disagreed with you, you're grouchy, and out comes the f-bomb.
That's why I'm thankful that there are products that inhibit you from dropping f-bombs. Personally, I recommend Beano. It helps reduce the number of f-bombs you drop, but also does wonders in reducing the f-bomb's noise and smell.
