Ron Jaworski Gaffe: ESPN Announcer Says 'Shit' On Monday Night Football (VIDEO)

Apparently, we weren't the only ones who heard Ron Jaworski accidentally swear during the Monday Night Football broadcast of the Patriots-Dolphins game.

“That’s one Chad [Henne] would love to have back. He knew he had the one-on-one matchup going down the right sideline. Shit, you have to get rid of this ball just a split second quicker,” he said halfway through the fourth quarter

Shortly after Jaws' gaffe, several high-profile viewers took to Twitter to make sure they heard correctly.

Just rewound it to confirm, but yeah, Jaworski just said (re: Henne's bad pass), "Sh*t, you have to get rid of the ball a split sec earlier"less than a minute ago via web Favorite Retweet ReplyDave Dameshek

Later in the game, Jaworski apologized for cursing on the air. While Jaws' apology may not save him from some sort of disciplinary measure by ESPN -- or even the FCC -- it seemed to be more than enough for most fans. As Sports Illustrated writer Joe Posnanski pointed out, anyone who watches television these days is exposed to content far more disturbing than the word that batted lead off for George Carlin's original 1972 list of "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television."

It should a been "Holy chit, Tom Brady is smoken hot tonight". Any of you remember when the Pats played at Sullivan and Monday Night Football refused to cover games there? That's because "fans" poured beer and peed on the camera crew. All hail Kraft and the Hoody, in that order. They brought respect to a broken down team that came this close to leaving town.

Those of us Dolphins fans watching here in Miami, were yelling a lot worse curses at our TV sets than anything "Jaws" said, Brady tore us a new one....again! Plain and simple!

I know Ron Jaworski and he would not just say shlt like that. The gregarious Jaws would be a whole lot more colorful. Chan's Fan

Big deal! They should allow them to curse. It would make for some viewing enjoyment.

Jaws is correct. SHIITE, the ball needs to go out quicker... Henne had his best game yet, but... SHIITE.

I know it's no big deal - but I personally rewound it about 5 times and laughed pretty hard. My dolphins were losing so bad even the announcers were frustrated!

If the FCC punishes anyone in this, it should be Chad Henne for not getting rid of the ball a split second earlier.
