So I'm watching the ESPN highlights of last Thursday's game, and they show Turgovic celebrating the last defensive stop, and I see this smudge on his mouth. At first, I think it's a drop of water on the camera. Was it raining? No. Then I look closer and it looks like they deliberately digitally blotted his mouth out. So what was he doing? I go and check the DVR of the broadcast game, and there he is, mouthing what looks to be the F-bomb. The only audio is Al Michaels yapping, and I can't read lips, so I don't know what he said other than the obvious F-bomb. So I can reach no other conclusion than ESPN actually took the trouble to blot out the silent F-bomb - for what? For the sensibilities of all the lip readers out there? Is it now an FCC violation to (re) broadcast a silent F-bomb. You gotta be kidding me.
