ESPN's Ron Jaworski Curses Live On Air During Patriots-Dolphins Game, Later Apologizes

ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Ron Jaworski threw an accidental curse during the live broadcast of the game between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins last night, and it slipped past the censors.

Jaworski was criticizing Dolphins quarterback Chad Henne of not getting the ball to his wide receiver Brandon Marshall fast enough.  Being a former NFL quarterback himself, he wanted to make sure he got his point across, which may explain his accidental word choice:
"[Henne] knew he had the one-on-one matchup going down the right sideline...Sh**, you have to get the ball out just a split second quicker."

Later in the broadcast (near the end of the game), Ron Jaworski apologized for the "inappropriate word":


This brings up a couple of questions:
  • How did the curse not get caught by the censors? Were they asleep, or was there no tape delay like in most broadcasts?
  • Is Ron Jaworski in jeopardy of losing his Monday Night Football analyst gig in the future after letting this one slip?
