From TFA:

"It's the NFL Network," McDaniels told The Denver Post. "It doesn't surprise me."

I'm starting to like this guy

Broncos' win over teh Giants.
LOL I made u a bowl but I eated it

I still don't get all the pearl-clutching that's going on around this. Who exactly doesn't think that a group of competitive 20 and 30 somethings tend to swear, and what color is the sky in their world?

What I don't understand is why the NFL Network broadcasts aren't on a delay in the first place. If you're going to put microphones near the coaches and players during a game, you're going to pick up the occasional swear.

"Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell records.
Well, I do, so fark him and fark you, too."

I saw that game and seeing how the Broncos' offensive and defensive line dominated the game I'm all for letting McDaniels swear all he wants he earned it.

The problem is that the cursing that got aired was not live. It was actually a replay of a tirade they'd just recorded. Apparently, they forgot to beep it.

Yeah, but it was awesome. McDaniels ain't afraid of some salty motherfarking language, motherfarker.

I love how NFL Films treats swearing. (new window)

Why do people get so worked up over a swear word on cable TV? Especially during a football game, where it shouldn't be very surprising?

I was watching that game and when I heard the f-bomb slip through I laughed my ass off. Not because I think it's a funny word, but because I knew the network was instantly shiatting their pants over it and they would have to put together some sort of lame apology to keep the holy-rollin' moral police from lambasting them.

Such a big deal over a non-issue. They don't seem to mind Manning, very clearly, mouthing Fark Me after another sack.

Maybe Coughlin should be swearing at his Giants for losing five of their last six games. Considering three of their final games are against Philly, Dallas and Minnesota, the Giants could finish 8-8 and out of the playoffs.

UNC_Samurai: I love how NFL Films treats swearing. (new window)

Marty Schottenheimer: "Take that !#%&in' blitz and shove it up your @#$, Jerry Glanville."

Classic.

You could compare the NFL Network to HBO so that's ok.

Words hurt.

Two main issues here:
-games televised on NFLN are -also- broadcast locally in the markets of the teams involved
-as mentioned before, it was a taped segment and still went through uneditted

I personally have no problem with it, just explaining.

It's just a motherfu*king game.

Sun God: It's just a motherfu*king game.

What exactly is your f*cking point?

Is it me, or does this sound really mavericky?

It's not his job to self edit just to protect a network.

If the NFL network is worried about swearing on the sidelines, then they shouldn't put microphones on the sidelines.

/Otherwise, shut the fark up.

Funk Brothers: You could compare the NFL Network to HBO so that's ok.

Nah... most people I know actually have HBO.

This guy is easily my favorite coach in the NFL. I wish he were coaching the Chargers, though. He and Philip Rivers would be pissing the entire league off AND kicking ass.

Your Average Witty Fark User: It's not his job to self edit just to protect a network.

No, it's the network's job to "protect" their viewers. And by "protect", I mean avoid "FCC fines".

How very true.

We did see Devin Hester's bare ass last weekend on NBC when he got his pants pulled down on a tackle. The slow-mo replay was a nice touch. I swear Collinsworth was trying hard not to laugh.

He's done a better job than I thought he would, though I think he's trying a little too hard with the cut-off sleeves on his hoodie. I think it was either John Clayton or Mort who had a great point on ESPN about how the last three years McDaniels has gotten career seasons out of Tom Brady, Matt Cassel and now Kyle Orton. The guy can coach.

Your_Huckleberry: The guy can coach.

Yes, he can, but coaching by itself, doesn't win games. After a while, players get tired of hearing the same spiel, and wonder if the coach actually knows what the hell he's doing to win games.

Sun God: Yes, he can, but coaching by itself, doesn't win games. After a while, players get tired of hearing the same spiel, and wonder if the coach actually knows what the hell he's doing to win games.

I don't get what you're saying here. They actually are winning games, surely the players have noticed.
Don't forget that a few months ago we all thought Denver would be about 2-9 right now.

A good coach understands why a team lost a game, not why they won it.

And around we go. Did McDaniels' swearing help them win the game? Does swearing during practice prepare players to win?

Sun God: And around we go. Did McDaniels' swearing help them win the game? Does swearing during practice prepare players to win?

Again, evidently.

After swearing shown on TV:

Denver defense goes on the field, forces a fumble.
Denver offense takes their first possession since the swearing, scores their first TD of the game after being stopped inside the 10 on each of their other drives.

Whether or not that was the reason, if that happened after I dropped a motherf*cker on TV, I'd be dropping a TON of motherf*ckers on TV.

And he is one of the most prepared coaches in the NFL, as his players have said. But that's ok, keep saying he sucks for taking a team that no one thought was any good and a QB that no one wanted and having them at 7-4 (would be 8-3 if Orton didn't get hurt in that Washington game).

Men violently colliding with bone-breaking force = great!

Excellent points. And I've never said he "sucks." You inferred I did.

Sun God: Excellent points. And I've never said he "sucks." You inferred I did.

Indeed you didn't. But for some reason you're not giving him the credit he probably deserves, and I'm not sure why.

I'll give him the credit he deserves, which is the same credit everyone gives him, which is something like, "This is a young, bold and skilled coach, and we'll be seeing a lot of him in the future."

God damn it. I wanted to hate this guy, and have him go 1-15. But he's winning, and I can't help but like this.

you have pee hands: /Chase Utley is still the greatest public profanity athlete OF ALL TIME

fark yes.

I think it was either John Clayton or Mort who had a great point on ESPN about how the last three years McDaniels has gotten career seasons out of Tom Brady, Matt Cassel and now Kyle Orton. The guy can coach.

As a Patriots fan, I love me some McDaniels... but that's not a completely accurate assessment of what happened. Tom Brady had a career year that year because he finally had real receivers (Moss and Welker.) Now that he's really back from his knee injury, he's playing about the same. That was the only season Cassel played behind a real offensive line (as opposed to a bunch of cardboard cutouts of KC players.) Kyle Orton, much like 07 Brady, is suddenly playing with a much better offense.

I still agree that McDaniels is a good coach, but if he were to have to move to Oakland next year because it was the only place his kid could get medical care or something, don't hold your breath on Russel or Gradkowski.

McDaniels sorry about those at home hearing 'motherfarker' but not sorry for saying it.

b-b-but what about the children?
Yeah, well the 5 of them that saw the game on that rarely watched network that are also too young to be up that late should have their parents slapped on the wrists for not parenting properly.:)

He is good. And so are his players. Except for that QB. That guy would throw at a rider on a running horse. Keep it simple guys.
