UPDATE: McDaniels after the game when told his comments went out on-air: “It’s the NFL Network, It doesn’t surprise me.”
Has there ever been a teevee network more plagued with broadcast gaffes than the NFL Network? Thursday night’s embarrassing moment came when Denver Coach Josh McDaniels was heard clearly by viewers screaming, “All we’re trying to do is win a motherf—ing game!”
(Editor? Five-second delay? Anyone?)
NFL Network wired McDaniels for sound for the game, and inexplicably played back unedited video of his expletive-filled rant, which followed a penalty-laden offensive drive that stalled in the red zone.
If you were with me Sunday night, McDaniels’ outburst in no way surprised you, considering his emotional outburst directed at the Chargers before San Diego throttled the Broncos 32-3 at Invesco Field.
Video of McDaniels melting down Thursday after the jump.
The more the NFL Network broadcasts games, the more you start to wonder if it’s worth the expense to the league. Especially with the constant carriage disputes.

WTF it’s football emotions are high. You pay extra (at least I do) for the NFL network. Why is it so wrong when you hear this. Yeah the broadcats of the games absolutely blow but if HBO blocked very cuss word for entourage or any other show we’d all be up in arms…..cuz we pay for that shit

You’re comparing the content on NFL Network to HBO?
That deserves a “C’mon man!”

F-bombs are one thing. Constant homages to the military are another. Giants fans in the NYC area got this game on WPIX-11 — I turned it off after 15 minutes because of the NFL glorifying the military at every turn.

The military rocks - and you should thank your lucky stars someones doing it instead of you and WTF would you expect on Thanksgiving Day - you know, the day to give thanks. My daughter is a Captain in the US Army with 2 tours under her belt and I am so proud of her. Now, back to Josh, he wasn’t even mic’d according to the NFL network - but I agree with Rudy. It’s the NFL, not a sewing circle.

I’m sure ogre is just as proud of that Army major who shot up Fort Hood.

Josh McDiapers is new biggest idiot in the NFL. The only thing he excels in is making a fool of himself. All the more reason to hate the Donkeys.

Only fake football fans and fake sports fans don’t like NFLNetwork…for true fans it’s the best channel there is, rather get unfounded rumors from blogs? from ESPN? or real news from NFLNetwork? exactly…
