I saw ESPNNews earlier on ESPN2 and had the same exact thought.

 
H.G. Pennypacker 2006-03-10 03:31:21 AM  
what the fark was that? (no pun intended)

Hi, I'm Danyelle Sargent, and I'm unemployed

 
CDNMoose [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 08:50:07 AM  
I for one subscribe to the theory that it was not any "technical difficulties", but a not-so-subtle UFIA courtesy of Dan Patrick that caused the outburst.

 
Dancin_In_Anson [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 09:20:13 AM  
That's the kind of sports show I'd run. Bully for her!

 
BranMuffins [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 09:54:37 AM  
Anyone else think of the SNL skit where the telepromters broke and chaos erupts?

 
Q314 [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 10:12:21 AM  
Dear News Anchors,

Suck It.


BranMuffins: Anyone else think of the SNL skit where the telepromters broke and chaos erupts?
yes. now we must find it.

"THE WORDS ARE GONE!"

Thanks for watching ESPN News and go fark yourself San Diego

 
theworryrock [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 10:23:26 AM  
i only noticed her saying 'fark'..
were there any others?
why was that clip like 4 minutes long only to have one 'expletive' at the end?

/grumpy and wants her money back

 
godiluvbeer 2006-03-10 10:24:59 AM  
awesome...and yes, most news anchors have no talent. reading and semi-good looking are your only prerequisites

 
HulkHands [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 10:26:14 AM  
yeh. if they were good ad-libbers theyd be on ESPN, not ESPNews.

 
BoxingLegend 2006-03-10 10:26:52 AM  
Damn.. it wasn't just a muffled expletive either...

 
smokescreen 2006-03-10 10:28:21 AM  
So is this supposed to be funny on Fark.com?

Every sports story has to have "Duke sucks" in the headline to make it funny? Is this how Fark.com rewards TotalFark members who need to get satisfaction from paying $5 a month?

/hates Duke as much as the next guy
//but really starting to hate the whole "Duke Sucks" thing that much more.

Can I have those minutes of my life back?

/nothing to see here, people.

Yea, I wondered that too. I listened closely when the presenters would cut away to something in case there was an open mic, but I didn't expect that chick to yell it out.. LOL.

 
khoirboy 2006-03-10 10:29:27 AM  
Good call Hulkhands.

Wow that was clear as a bell. LOL

 
BoxingLegend 2006-03-10 10:29:42 AM  
The constant use of the same old fark cliches are just reminiscent of the low intelligence quotient which is shared by the users.

I don't mind some of them, but spelling the like "teh" and "Duke Sucks" is getting pretty old. The slash thing is annoying as well.

 
Eeek [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 10:30:21 AM  
Well, you see, theworryrock, it's called a lead in. The artist wanted you to feel the pain of the news anchors, so the showed the whole clip. The frustrations of the people that were building were critical to the expletive at the end. Do you get pissed and read the last page of the book first?

 
BoxingLegend 2006-03-10 10:30:54 AM  
Maybe this means more Rachel Nichols? She looks so slutty.... its pleasing.

 
StarshipPooper 2006-03-10 10:31:07 AM  
Maybe her co ancher stuck his pecker in her ear?

 
BoxingLegend 2006-03-10 10:31:42 AM  
And she always looks the exact same (in regards to Rachel Nichols). Its like they have a template for her face and just spray on the colors. Same goes for the hair.

 
bump 2006-03-10 10:33:47 AM  
"what the fark was that?!"

That was the sound of you moving to a lower market somewhere in Catsnipple, Alaska you unproffesional twit...

 
bula 2006-03-10 10:34:06 AM  
We will never, ever, EVER see that black woman back in front of a teleprompter again. That was classic!!!

WHAT THE F#CK WAS THAT??!!

 
tungsai 2006-03-10 10:35:23 AM  
Just when watching sports might have gotten interesting....

 
Weasel3322 2006-03-10 10:35:25 AM  
lol, good for her. i thought it was cute

 
MyMyMyMitchell 2006-03-10 10:35:37 AM  
Someone dropped the F-Bomb live on college gameday last season, clear as day. Seems they have a little problem with this.

 
Sussman [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 10:36:02 AM  
I am officially amused.

BoxingLegend and smokescreen:

who pissed in your fark o's?

/lighten up
//its tradition!
///teh slashies biatches

Leave it to a black woman not to know when to shut her mouth.

/what, you know it's true...
//The view out the window is looking nice and the cart is on its way

She Charles Rocketed!

 
Brad_Will [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 10:38:12 AM  
Er, by that I mean that she said the F word on the air, not that she killed herself.

 
ChocolateCoveredBacon 2006-03-10 10:39:20 AM  
freznel I owe you a beer.

/abso-friggin-lutely spot-on

Don't you mean Duke #@& @%$$$ ??

 
Mr. Anon 2006-03-10 10:40:41 AM  
I'm going to send this to all my religious nutjob friends. Then we're going to write the FCC to complain about something we didn't see and weren't offended by until it appeared on the intarwebs.

/yea, I know the FCC doesn't work with cable
//I'm mad because after my 6 year old son heard that he killed a prostitute.
///Naughty language is evil!

Can anyone say Daytime Emmy!

or rather FCC payout from ESPN and full congressional hearings on her verbal mishap?!? Not as good as a nipple slip but it will do for me!

/slashes rule
//Duke highlights on ESPN suck as much as Duke does!

 
Bigtimmy 2006-03-10 10:42:09 AM  
I liked how her partner just kept going.

 
jpat 2006-03-10 10:42:39 AM  
This is why you never, ever use profanity in range of a microphone when you are doing a broadcast. A story I heard in radio was that in some small town, a kid (teenager) was working weekends at his Dad's radio station. For whatever reason, the tuner they used to monitor the station was under the console. In the middle of an intro, he hit the tuner and heard static. Started cursing about the transmitter going down, etc.

Even better is the guy who spilled a beer into the console and to cover it up (drinking on air would cause your license to get revoked/suspended), he poured a coke into the console.

Boooo hoooooo, stop whining....jeez, if you don't like the headlines then go to another site that tailors to your tastes and preferences...like drudge or something.

Oh, just curious but are you a disgruntled cubs fan?

 
RaoulDuke 2006-03-10 10:45:40 AM  
that lady rules...

happy friday freaks!

WHAT THE FCUK WAS THAT?!?!?!

 
Brad_Will [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 10:45:53 AM  
I also find it mildly amusing that she did it during Syracuse highlights, considering that she might be able to handle the unexpected if she'd gone there.

 
Mr. Anon 2006-03-10 10:47:43 AM  
Bigtimmy: I liked how her partner just kept going.

Here is my take on what happened. The commentary of the basketball game is prerecorded with the video. You can tell because you hear the same guys voice at the same time in the beginning of the clip (or package in insider speak).

The mics were supposed to be turned off, but they weren't. Still the chicks fault for swearing. But also the sound guys fault for not cutting their mics.

 
kylania 2006-03-10 10:48:01 AM  
Bigtimmy: I liked how her partner just kept going.

Seemed to me like they cut to a pre-recorded video as the guy was talking and that's what she was WTF'ing about. Not sure though.

 
whenIsayGO [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 10:49:40 AM  
I liked it. Not a fan of "Duke sucks" when TFA has nothing to do with Duke, but otherwise I liked it. If it was just a clip of a woman saying "what the fark was that" I'd be unimpressed. I could hear that anywhere. The lead-in put it in context.

I have to say at first I didn't like her because she wasn't doing so well under pressure, but anyone who screams out "what the fark was that" on live TV is OK in my book.

 
yuriko 2006-03-10 10:52:13 AM  
Ha, that's funny. Especially live like that. Heh.

/"I'm Ron Burgundy?"
//"Dammit! Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter?"

 
Brad_Will [TotalFark] 2006-03-10 10:53:06 AM  
Yeesh. A Google search doesn't reveal where she went to college, but it does provide her home address. WTF?

 
Quick1 2006-03-10 11:01:13 AM  
Has anyone called the WAAHHHHHH!mbulance for the people complaining about Duke Sucks?

 
Pujols 2006-03-10 11:02:22 AM  
Fabian: Oh, just curious but are you a disgruntled cubs fan?

Okay, that's hilarious.

/Cardinal fan
//Does the Fark account give it away?
///slashies just because it makes some people mad

 
GBrushTWood 2006-03-10 11:03:25 AM  
Just goes to show you how trivial these anchor jobs are. The only thing these bungholes need to do is read off a card, and when that gets taken away from them, they start the deer in headlights look.
I know it's not easy to read intelligently when somebody is talking into your earpiece or whatever, but the very slightest degree of skill or intelligence can make up for this.

BTW, I love these uncomfortable TV moments.

If that word will come out of her mouth, that means my dick can go in it.

I approve.
