<p>Cue Christian Bale screaming about being a professional.</p>
<p>Later in the game, Jaworski apologized to colleague Mike Tirico and the listening audience.</p>

<p>My favorite part:<br />
<strong>Tirico:</strong> &#8220;&#8230;okay.&#8221;<br />
<em>*six to eight seconds of dead air*</em></p>
<div id="attachment_6077" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a href="http://blog.timesunion.com/marshall/files/2011/09/jabberjaw2.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6077" title="jabberjaw2" src="http://blog.timesunion.com/marshall/files/2011/09/jabberjaw2-300x204.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="204" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rock drummer and professional private investigator Jabberjaw would probably be a better broadcaster than Jaws.</p></div>
<p>Look, I don&#8217;t care that Jaworski said &#8220;s***&#8221; on the air. In fact, I think it&#8217;s awesome, and would love for Jon Gruden to bust out with a &#8220;this f***in&#8217; guy&#8221; or for Troy Aikman to say anything interesting, ever.</p>
<p>My problem is with the jock-offs outfits like ESPN, Fox, and CBS keep hiring to do these games; men whose only qualification is having played the game. That alone doesn&#8217;t make for a good announcer or broadcaster. There are people whose job and training is specifically in this sort of thing. Do we fans need &#8211; or want &#8211; these well-meaning but woefully inept ex-players in the booth?</p>
<p>S***, I dont&#8217; think so.</p>
