During ESPN's coverage of an Australian Open quarterfinal match between Andy Murray and Kei Nishikori, analyst Patrick McEnroe was caught cursing live on the air (accidentally, of course).
It happened during the first set of the match when the ESPN crew was replaying one particular point from a side angle. Unfortunately, the ball boy (or girl) was perfectly situated to block the view of the ball on the court from that side angle, frustrating McEnroe and causing him to accidentally drop the F-bomb.
We're used to hearing foul language from Patrick's brother John, but hearing it from Patrick is unusual. Obviously the ESPN censors were caught sleeping again. Where is the 7-second delay when we need it?
