Chapman's Game-Saving Play 😱

15 Athletes Caught Dropping the F-Bomb

Timothy RappNov 22, 2011

Get ready to be effing entertained.

We all know that grown men curse sometimes. And while that doesn't mean we're necessarily condoning the practice, it happens.

Athletes are no different. Heck, given the emotion and intensity of the game they play, is it any wonder the f-bombs rain down from time to time?

No. Now enjoy the bleeping show.

(Note: THIS SLIDESHOW IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK. It's not even safe if you are within a 10-mile radius of work. THESE VIDEOS CONTAIN F-BOMBS. You have been warned.)

A Classy Introduction

1 of 16

We start with NFL Films' retrospective on foul language in the NFL. It is bleeping funny, namely because bleeping out words makes everything bleeping hilarious.

And that's the bleeping truth.

15. Brady Quinn

2 of 16

Brady Quinn was definitely in some bleeping pain here.

Either that or he was impersonating the reaction of NFL general managers who drafted or traded for him.

14. Kobe Bryant

3 of 16

Kobe totally got "reffed" on this play. Let me explain.

To get "effed": To be screwed, given an unfair shake, taken advantage of.

To get "reffed": To be screwed, given an unfair shake, taken advantage of by a referee in the sport you are playing.

Nobody likes to get "reffed."

13. Dave Stala

4 of 16

There's actually a pretty solid back story to this CFL swearing. Well, the first part about Jake, at least. From Yahoo!:

"

Sunday's historic East semi-final had plenty of unusual moments, which you'd expect from a game that the underdog Hamilton Tiger-Cats won 52-44 in overtime (and one TSN veteran announcer Chris Cuthbert described as one of the best he's ever called). However, one of the most notable moments had little to do with the score.

It started when Hamilton veteran Canadian slotback Dave Stala scored a touchdown (which he's seen celebrating above), as he'd promised cancer patient and Tiger-Cats' fan Jake Rayner he'd do, and then proceeded to tell TSN's sideline camera, "Yeah, Jake, buddy, that one's for you, man!" The controversial part is what came next, though; Stala followed it up with an (uncensored) "F-ing right" straight into the camera, which TSN obviously didn't have time to bleep out.

12. Tim Lincecum

5 of 16

It seems we should probably change his beloved nickname to Big Time Timmy Effing Jim, no?

11. Yao Ming

6 of 16

Remember the old Yao commercial for Visa? It would have been a whole lot funnier if Yao responded at the end of that commercial like he did above.

10. Peyton Manning and Jeff Saturday

7 of 16

This is bleeping hilarious. Watching Peyton Manning lose his (expletive removed) after Jeff Saturday questions a play call absolutely killed me.

The progression from Manning losing his cool and storming over to where the offensive linemen were sitting to realizing that he was out-manned by about 1,500 pounds of large men and slinking back to his section of the bench was just priceless.

9. Nyjer Morgan

8 of 16

You guys, Nyjer Morgan had no idea the microphone was right there. Shoot, he didn't even see Sam Ryan, who was clearly trying to ask him a few questions. From Scott Miller of CBS:

"

"Honestly, I didn't even realize the mic was right there on me," said Morgan, who dropped two very audible F-bombs on TBS field reporter Sam Ryan during Friday's postgame interview following Milwaukee's dramatic Game 5 win over Arizona. "I was sorry for the nation. You know, I am a role model out here."

With that thought, Morgan stopped and let out a big belly laugh.

"I'm serious, I am a role model and kids hear that and I don't condone it, but I was caught up in the moment, man," he continued. "That doesn't happen to everybody. So I'm sorry for that. Next time I'll think about it before I spit it out. Yeah."

"

As usual, this annoys me. But I'm biased—everything Morgan does annoys me.

The guy just grates on my nerves—what can I tell you?

8. Rasheed Wallace

9 of 16

Dude, get that bleeping camera out of his face! Stop doing your job, cameraman! What do you think this is, an NBA game? Stop acting like you have some sort of responsibility to film the action on the court and bench, you big jerk.

The nerve of some people...

7. Tom Brady

10 of 16

He said the same thing when he heard they traded for Chad Ochocinco in the first place.

6. Andrew Bynum

11 of 16

Sometimes he just wants the bleeping ball, as well.

Andrew effing Bynum, ladies and gentlemen.

5. Ervin Santana

12 of 16

I'm going to start saying this every time I overcome a small inconvenience.

What's that? We don't have any bacon to go along with breakfast this morning? Eff it, let's eat.

What's that? We're going to have to play this flag-football game a man down? Eff it, let's play.

What's that? You guys are out of the duck I need to make a turducken this year? Eff it, I'll take some effing ham instead.

4. Charles Barkley

13 of 16

This is why they called him Sir Charles.

The best part is when he just looks in the camera and lets another one fly. We feel your pain, Chuck.

3. Jay Cutler

14 of 16

Who hasn't wanted to say this to their offensive coordinator—or Mike Martz specifically, for that matter—from time to time.

Can you imagine if the real world was like professional sports, and coworkers regularly cursed each other out like Manning and Saturday, or you could tell your boss to go (expletive removed) himself like Jay Cutler did here?

Other things that would make the workplace strange if the real world was like professional sports: butt slaps, chest bumps, fans cheering or berating you at your desk, press conferences at the end of each day, department-clearing brawls and mascots.

2. Shaq, We're on Live...

15 of 16

But Shaq doesn't give a bleep.

That should be the name of his memoirs: Shaq Doesn't Give a Bleep. Which will finally explain why Kazaam—indisputably the worst film in the history of cinema—happened.

1. Chase Utley

16 of 16

This was the exclamation point on the finest sports week of my life after the Phillies won the World Series in 2008, the first Philly team to win a championship in my lifetime.

The night they won, we flooded the streets of Broad Street and celebrated with thousands of ecstatic—and in my experience, well-behaved—Philadelphians.

Then a few days later we had the parade down Broad Street, as over a million fans came out to voice their appreciation for the team. When they made it back to the Citizens Bank Park and Charlie Manuel and the players were given the chance to speak, well, Chase Utley gave Philadelphia three words none of us will ever forget.

World effing champions, baby!

My name is Timothy Rapp, and I put the "grrrr" in Swagger.
