What was it about the past week or so on television?<\/p>\n

About a week and a half ago political pundit Bob Beckel<\/strong> lost his cool and yelled out “That’s B.S.!” (the full word) on the FOX News<\/em> show The Five.<\/em><\/p>\n

If anyone was watching, of course.<\/p>\n

I am joking, sort of, though I enjoy politics but am not a regular viewer of that particular roundtable. Beckel is a jocular sort of fellow though and even states his admiration for Newt Gingrich<\/strong> … so I can appreciate that, especially coming from a Democratic operative.<\/p>\n

Beckel wasn’t the only one to flip his lid, though, as famous lid-wearer\/ESPN<\/em> analyst Lee Corso<\/strong> used the ‘F’ word in discussing his excitement of something about college football.<\/p>\n

Corso deserves a bit of a knock, not such much for that error but for his Hooters<\/em> ad in which he praises the restaurant’s, ahem, talent … with a literal wink to a waitress.<\/p>\n

Kinda creepy Corso.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Rex Ryan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Another offender is not a big surprise in New York Jets<\/em> coach Rex “Look at Me” Ryan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want that kind of attention Rex you have to be willing to constantly hold your tongue.<\/p>\n

Or be willing to face a hefty fine from NFL<\/em> Commissioner Roger Goodell<\/strong>, who frowns on cursing at a fan, which Ryan did a week ago after the Jets loss to the New England Patriots<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Shape up guys … you can’t behave that way on television and get away with it.<\/p>\n

At least not yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
