Ron Jaworski says a curse word on TV

((ht: larrybrownsports))

Ooops.

He didn't "mean" to say. But he did. And no, we don't think he was doing it maliciously, but it was kind of funny.

4th quarter of last nights Dolphins/Patriots game--Chad Henne of the Dolphins tries completing a pass but misses. Jaworski said "Shit, you have to get rid of this ball".

Jaws has already apologized for it and we hope he doesn't get in serious trouble because he is one of the best TV game analysts in the business.

Thirty Years Ago On MNF

((HT: ABC/NFL/youtube))

Here's two separate angles of the seminal event of thirty years ago...

Everyone thinks of New England Patriots kicker John Smith for two reasons...
One is the snowplow game where work release program trustee Marc Henderson cleared off the wrong spot for him to kick the game-winning field goal against the Miami Dolphins...

The other is this...


Bu, what a lot of you may not know is that there was a lot of debate on whether or not event number two was actually going to happen...
((HT: ESPN))


Interesting perspective on an interesting event...
One of the few times that having the ABC library comes in handy...

BREAKING: "Dandy" Don Meredith passes away

He'll be missed. Don Meredith is one of the guys, one of the icons...associated with the true "Monday Night Football" broadcast.

Meredith, who was 72, was a fixture in the early Monday night games, teaming with Frank Gifford and Howard Cosell, passed away at a Santa Fe, New Mexico hospital, late last night.

More from the Dallas Morning News RIGHT HERE

Meredith was one of the "Original" Dallas Cowboys, their first quarterback. He played in the NFL for 8 years before he retired.

It didn't take long for Meredith, known for being a Cowboy off the field, found his way to the Monday Night Football booth. He was part of the original broadcast in 1970. He had a great sense of humor and didn't have that "Filter" to keep him from saying whatever was on his mind.

He'll be missed, but he won't be forgotten. Dandy Don, rest in peace, we here at OSG Sports tip our hats and salute you sir.

Check out this very, very old Monday Night Football open from 1973 featuring the MNF team:

Derek Anderson doesn't think he's funny....

He doesn't think the reporter asking him why he was laughing on the sidelines is funny either.

Here's the scene setter. Last night's Monday night football game 49ers vs. Anderson's Cardinals. The Cardinals basically lay an egg, losing 27-6. Sometime late in the game, Anderson, the quarterback, was caught on camera, talking to one of his offensive lineman and laughing about something he said.

Really, there is nothing wrong with that. There is no law that says if you are losing you must have your morose, sad, depressing face on for the entirety of the game. However, during the post-game press conference, long-time Cardinals beat writer Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, asked Anderson about it. Rather than ignore the question. Anderson gets...well...he gets a bit upset.

Chucky to Louisville?

Okay, let's play Coaching Carousel rumors today. In today's game we will name a team or school who thinks that they might have a coaching job coming available in the near future. We will name the school and then we will name the name that they are trying to attract.

Today's school is Louisville. Louisville has had a decent run of success in Football over the past oh...10 years. A lot of that is due to the coaches that they have had. The current coach; Steve Kragthorpe has not been very successful; in fact there are almost weekly rumors that he will be losing his job...sooner rather than later.

What name would be attached to this you ask? Why it's none other than former Tampa Bay Buccaneer coach and current Monday Night Football Announcer Jon Gruden. Why Gruden? Well, you can read the original report yourself from the National Football Post...though it doesn't offer much insight aside from Gruden's brother Jay playing there

The story from the National Football Post right HERE .

The NFL Network's Michael Lombardi adds his 2-Cents HERE.

Really, we don't put a whole lot of credence in this story, we just felt like it was an excuse to talk about Gruden. If you have watched Monday Night Football, it's amazing how good and natural he seems in the analyst role. I never would have figured that. Gruden's name has also popped up in conversations about the Redskins, Raiders and other crappy NFL teams.

We think Louisville may be a bit out of their minds for throwing this out there, but if I'm Tom Jurich, why not? His program isn't quite the "Elite" program that he seems to think it is, but they have had some success and when the inevitable happens and Kragthorpe gets fired, they will be able to find a decent coach to take over the reins.

As much as we wouldn't mind seeing Gruden back on a sideline because he without a doubt was one of the most entertaining coaches out there, we like him more in his current role with MNF. There haven't been any reports that I have seen stating he doesn't like the cushy TV gig, so if that is true...then why leave it?

In the meantime, enjoy this clip of Gruden wearing a mic...Courtesy: YouTube

Did Gruden Stiff NFL-N...?

((HT: Awful Announcing))

Rich Eisen was a guest on the "Dan Patrick Show" and was in a little Q-and-A over Jon Gruden's new gig with "Monday Night Football."

Apparently, to Eisen's understanding, Gruden was heading to the Network, and then, all of a sudden signed with the four-letter...

Here's your exchange...

Chucky Does TV?

We weren't really sure what to think when we saw this headline today "Gruden to replace Kornhieser in MNF Booth". I guess it is the end of "Cornholio" on Football. Oddly, he won't be missed.

The stranger part of the announcement...Jon Gruden to the announcers booth. Okay, that just sounds wierd. Gruden, one of the stranger, more intense not such a big fan of TV coaches that ever existed, is crossing over to the dark side. We say that with the caveat of knowing that most coaches who do this are pretty much giving themselves something to do until the next coaching job comes along...which it will.

Anyway, check out the story from our friends at the 4-Letter word (ESPN) here
