I was just working on a post when my ears perked up from something Ron Jaworski said on Monday Night’s broadcast.
Did he just say what I think he said?
After examining the tape just like Jaws would, I was able to confirm it.
“That’s one Chad [Henne] would love to have back. He knew he had the one-on-one matchup going down the right sideline. S—, you have to get rid of this ball just a split second quicker,” Jaworski said.
It was probably unnecessary to check the tape. I could have gone to Twitter, where thousands of adults gleefully reveled in a naughty word being used on national television.
S—, that was pretty funny.
UPDATE: Here it is, in case you missed it. Jaworski did apologize for using the word towards the end of the broadcast.
UPDATE II: Here’s the apology.

I think it was Gruden that said it????
oh my god THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!
He also said the Dolphins had no chance of getting the ball back before the half with the way Brady was stroking it.
S-, I thought that’s what I heard him say. I though I was trippin’.
You can bet that ESPN is glad this is on cable, where the FCC won’t kick the S— out of them for saying S— on the air…
s*** the steelers are junk
s*** prob wont have a winning record
That was not Jaws, that was Gruden who had the slip. I rewound it aswell just to make sure.
I thought I heard that, thanks for confirming. I’m in a hotel and couldn’t rewind.
S*** will big ben do the same to his wife she says no
Didnt Matt Millen say Pollack to Jaws during the NFl draft?
s*** did mendenhall relly just say?
I had to rewind the DVR to make sure he said ship
It’s a vocabulary malfunction.
S–, your pretty much an idiot!
Ron your the best. Keep it up!
I’ll take Jaws over that long-faced sad sack of a partner of his ANY day….s***or no s***.
I’m pretty sure that was gruden…But i didn’t “review it”
Is this really article worthy?
…he just apologized, FWIW.
Sh*t, I got a good laugh out of it.
LOL, and Jaws just apologized on air. S-bomb confirmed!
Gotta love Jaws
LOL..yep, he just apologized on tv just now…
It was Jaws, he just apologized, good catch on the voices.
But they said it on cop drama. What’s the big deal??
who cares.
he was probably just disgusted with how tirico can’t shut his mouth.
I had a feeling that’s what I heard, but I wasn’t sure. I can dig it. Hopefully ESPN/FCC doesn’t make a big deal out of this.
LMFAO! He just apologized On Air for saying it.
says “he, a little while ago I said an innapropriate word on the air, and I just want to apologize, I hope I didn’t offend anybody”.
S*** just got real
that s– was funny
LOL he just apologized for saying the word $hit and hope it didnt offend anyone.
I am hurt by your words Jaws and I will never be able to drop a #2 again the same way.
And just like most immature adults you find this funny.
I thought that’s what I heard, and got it confirmed when he “apologized”. Anyone that gets uptight about this? Untwist those panties.
well it is about high time we find something more important to worry/discuss in this country. Between people getting worked up over curse words to millions of dollars spent everytime their is a nip slip on tv, we are pathetic.
Words and nipples, something we all have in common, yet we continue to split hairs about which ones are okay and which ones are not okay to be diplayed in public. I wish I had my own radio show let the venom out.
I could of swore Gruden said it.
thought i caught that… although it wasn’t overly exciting… not really a big deal.
I think Jaworski’s just angry because he dropped Brady and picked up Peyton Manning in his Fantasy Football League
He just apologized, and rather awkwardly. Not having heard him drop the ‘s’ bomb, i didn’t jbow what he was talking about when he apologized. But based on what he said in his apology, I thought he must’ve uttered a racial slur.
That was actually John Gruden. Great reporting.
S—, will the American public ever grow up? To the point that they routinely dismiss these sort of gaffes in lieu of things that matter. Absolute childishness.
Seriously? Who gives a S—
When was it? I could rewind and hear it
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, definitely thought Gruden would be the first one to do that.
I would have thought that Coach Chucky would have been the first member of the MNF crew to apologize for using one of the 7 words you can’t say on TV.
Still, it was pretty funny and anyone who was offended needs to grow a pair / put the kids to bed before 9:30 pm on a Monday.
Put a quarter in the jar Jaws. You too, Gregg.
Great Odin’s Raven!
yeah i just about fell off the couch laughing had 2 rewind it twice it was so good.
Because he offended the all male crowd
I would test him for hgh because of this unfair use of the word
Sheet
ever see him on pti? he goes into announcer mode right away, and i always wonder if he talks like that all the time, if he still differentiates between normal speak in his mind anymore. there’s the answer?
i propose a toast: to the nanny states of america!
Wow. You think Gruden would have been the one to say it. If anybody knows about “s**t”, it’s Chucky.
Thanks for rubbing it in, Rosenthal. Have you never used the S word?….and make no mistake about it, YOU will never the have the stature of Jaws whether it be on TV or not.
I thought that was Gruden
All commentators of major sporting events are sub-par, and should be mocked accordingly. They are also paid a lot of money, which I am not. Because they are paid lots of money, and I am not, I do not like them. Eli Manning appears foolish in the eyes of others.
well I have never hea…. nah, hold up.
it’s a word, you know for all we know animals when they bark could be saying swear words all the time, idk why anyone would care.
just words.
I thought I heard it too. But I thought it was Gruden.
Why in the Hell are you using a picture of him when he was with KC?
He can go ahead and apologize for always saying crap like “player X does it as well as anyone in the league” or “team X does it as well as anyone in the league” about EVERYTHING.
Then start with Gruden and “Now I love this kid….”
@georgeanderson2
“That was not Jaws, that was Gruden who had the slip. I rewound it aswell just to make sure.”
Nope, definitley Jaws. If it was Gruden he would have said something along the lines of “Sh**, I just love Chad Henne. I love the way he plays and he did not make the mistake there because I love everyone and I may end up coaching the Fins someday so I don’t want to criticize them.”
S— HAPPENS!
I’m usually not a fan of Jaws, but him saying what he did made me much more of a fan. Shows that he is really into his job and talking like a real fan, not just another guy collecting a paycheck.
Anyone offended by his language needs to grow up. The whole sticks and stones song from the playground comes to mind.
Only in America are we so sensitive that using that word would cause an issue. As a people we’re amazing puzzies.
i dont think it was jaworski i believe it was jon gruden!!
Pft has no problem posting this because jaws works for espn not nbc let al michaels trash al davis and they totally ignore it ive said it more than once profootballzone>profootballtalk.
That was so funny!
Anyone catch billick say the rams were havin sex with the no huddle yesterday
You must’ve missed the time earlier in the broadcast when Gruden went to tug on Jaws’ tie, but pulled too hard and exposed his nipple.
The government will wipe out the national debt with the fine from that one.
Big deal we’re adults and he got caught up in the game-he’s human
Tim Tebow is gonna write a letter to ESPN now
and referee jerome boger just said flag (without the L) in the raiders game.
Oh no! Ggreg’s virgin ears!
And Tike was flabbergasted.
Eagles fans and players say what we want , we dont give a S-H-*-+
From years of playing and coaching football, working in my profession and just general life — so used to that word that didn’t even notice.
Precisely the reason I never dreamed of becoming a sportscaster.
I’d have likely followed my mistake by saying “after all, the f*ckin’ guy was wide open!”
The pair that amazes me is Jerry Remy and Orsillo doing the Sox games. They had to watch Manny all those years play the outfield like he was blindfolded. And doing a game while Dice-K was pitching never produced a comment like “Matsuzaka sucks bigtime, Don!”
Jaws apologized. The ribbing he is going to take will be punishment enough.
Jaworski’s Nipple —> good name for my new band.
Too funny! I thought that what I heard, but I wasn’t sure. No big deal, he let one get out, it’s not like he flashed himself on air. Who doesn’t drop an “S” bomb at least once a day?
producer: “He said what!? Quick cut to the half naked babe bouncing her tits around as the guy fumbles for some viagra commercial”
Thumbs up if you’re sick of idiots thinking it was Gruden who said it.
that was great…it caught me by surprise as well. It was like he was sitting at a sports bar with the bunch of us. I dug it. Don’t change Jaws…DON’T EVER CHANGE!!!!
I often wonder if these announcers try to refrain from cursing in casual conversation for fear it might trickle into their broadcasts.
Not as bad as the ref in the Raiders game saying that, “T there was no holding on the GAY.”
Now all Jaworski has to do is apologize for playing like sh!t in Super Bowl XV.
nothing compared to what Referee Jerome Boger slurred in the 1st half of the Raider game. When on mic he announced “There was no fa_ on the play” instead of flag.
I liked it
Reminds me of that South Park episode…”They’re gonna say S*** on television!”
Gotta love the Soviet style censorship on anything posted by Rosenthal.
It was after 10:03 on the east coast and that word is not something the FCC in 2011 would fine or will fine. He said the adult form of the word ‘poop’. he was talking like a buddy of mine would during any sports game. who cares. I think an NFL broadcast could use a little spicy.
somebody call Favre!!!
I told Percy
That was funny as sh–well, you know!
Wow, dude WAS really comfortable. Or maybe, being in Miami, he REALLY enjoyed himself earlier in the day.
BTW, I lost the pool…
I had Gruden dropping an F-bomb before Thanksgiving.
It was definitely Jaws, not Gruden
chad henne could have taken a s*** quicker than he couldve gotten rid of the ball, as he displayed the rest of the game
S*** that Broncos/Raiders game was boring.

__________________________________________
I heard it too boblavoie and thought it was John Gruden as well. At first I thought, “I didn’t really hear that word,” but, after hearing the apology, I realized it was Jaworski and that I indeed did hear what I thought I heard. It sure sounded like Gruden at first though.

======================
He was facing the Raiders, that wouldnt have mattered. They were dominant in those days.
according to the geniuses in this forum, jaworski is now apologizing for Gruden.
“jfont1584 says: Sep 12, 2011 10:31 PM
That was actually John Gruden. Great reporting.”
Now that we all have it confirmed as Jaws, you should apologize for your sarcastic attack on the quality of the reporting.
a little late but…
in the play where austin took the ball out of cromartie’s hands for a touchdown, the td shouldn’t have counted. shoulda been a touchback. cro had control as they crossed the plane so at that point the play was over and austin stripped a dead ball. jets take possession.
S I thought I heard it. I thought it was Gruden. Weird how our ears can pick up s on TV.
All I can think is thank god he didn’t have a f***ing wardrobe malfunction!!!
If it looks like s—, and smells like s— then it is proably the KC Chiefs. By the way it sounded like Gruden to me too.
LOL, I rewound that like 4 or 5 times. I was in the Navy, so that doesn’t bother me. Plus, it was real quick, so if you weren’t paying attention you’d probably miss it.
Now it wasn’t like he went all Clay Davis with it
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
He meant to say shoot. He says shoot a lot and he just slipped.
S$%%&^** the Packers Defense sucks!
Do you know how many times . .
I’ve said the same thing to my TV,
when Jaws had the ball.
. .man he screwed so many bets for me.
That’s the problem with Gruden and Jaws. They sound EXACTLY the same IMO. I think Gruden cursed if you watched the NFL.com highlights for a TD play. They didn’t edit/cut them when they went into commercial and just kept the audio on for the announcers. Pretty sure it was gruden who cursed then.
Weren’t they on delay? If so, where was the producer?
We still talk about a playoff game between the Steelers and (then) Houston Oilers, with Bum Philips as coach, when Myron Cope (RIP) got a little too excited as the Steelers were steamrolling the Oilers and he said in that high pitched voice “F…ing Houston’s been knocked flat.!”
Everybody in the bar stopped and just looked at each other, then burst out laughing.
Myron wasn’t heard from again for about ten minutes.
(Probably getting an earful…)
They just ignored the incident, no apology, no mention the next day…
Jaws should apologize for riding Kolb’s nuts last year. “andy Reid is making the right decision starting kolb” Andy Reid made up his mind too soon instead of letting the process play out. Start vick last year, they win that first game and we have a different Superbowl champ this year.
Perhaps Jaws had a little gin and tonic to get loose before the first broadcast. Would have loved to see Grudens and Tiricos faces!!
This country is full of do do as well. For Ron to even have to mention I hope it did not offend anyone is such crap. I think the commercial after that gave a warning if you experience a erection for more than four hours see a Doctor. We as a people are so full of ourselves.
What’s he apologizing for. 98% of American men use that word at least 25 times a day.
It’s a great, especially when there’s so much s*** going on these days.
It just flowed out so natural LOL
Wow … this article has sure pulled in the responses. LOL
And Trent Dilfer still sucked.
It was clearly Jaws. How you guys thought it was Gruden I have no idea.
