Children should hear cursing more often, if you want them to live a bubble and not succeed in the real world because of reality being a shock to their perfect little systems than thats ok too.

I'm currently applying this theory with a thirteen and five year old. We'll see how it mother****in' turns out but so far so good.

If you would have read my whole post, you would have realized that the point where Mr. Tongue met Mr. Cheek occurred fairly early. No biggie, though.

Yup, I got that. But you touched a nerve with me - I've heard that stupid saying for a long time. Also, I just wanted to use your post as an opportunity to preach a little. I felt preachy today.

This really bugs me.

Jim Nantz maintains that whispering voice throughout his CBS coverage of the Masters. But now that the tournament is over he's speaking out loud and clear with criticism of Tiger Woods' on-course behavior at Augusta National.

Interviewed by WFAN's Mike Francesa yesterday, Nantz sounded off on Tiger's show of temper early in Saturday's round, saying:

"He used the Lord's name in vain . . . If I said what he said on the air, I would be fired. Okay? It's interesting. I read in USA TODAY and it was called 'mild language.' Someone on my broadcast dismissed it as nothing other than the fact he had a camera in his face. Well, guess what? Phil Mickelson had a camera in his face all week and did you ever hear him even come close to saying something like that?"

What riled Nantz in particular is that Tiger had promised he'd be better behaved on the course:

"He promised he wasn't going to do this anymore . . . I'm not saying my language is perfect. I try my best to act with honor, we all do . . . It used to be far worse. I'll give him that. If he's really going to try I salute him for that but it was just a bit jarring to hear that, five minutes into the broadcast."

And one more shot:

"It was disappointing to see the broadcast open up on Saturday that way, and I didn't take it as mild . . . If I ever uttered those same words I would like the guy to write that's mild language for me, because I would be fired." -- Tom Weir

Guess what Jim, Tiger is not a Christian and neither are a lot of people. To him (and them) Jesus Christ is not a curse word, it's just another dude's name. I take it Jim Nantz wouldn't be pissed off if Tiger screamed Buddha! next time he hit a bad shot.
