    Announcers are currently appologizing for Pitt QB Tyler Palko's use of the word "Fucking" during a post game interview on NBC.

    Now the question is, will the FCC jack a college kid for $500K? :huh:

    There in lies the problem, they'll nail Janet for flipping a semi covered nipple for an amount of time that would be defined as subliminal, they'll fine Bono for using the same word...why not Palko?

    I guess you take the money where you can get it. The idea of 5 fuddy duddy's deciding what is and is not offensive troubles me. The whole concept is BS, IMO. The FCC is nazi-like.

    The FCC has no way to fine a college player for cussing on national TV. Unlike all the other names he's not getting paid a penny to be there. Where as other members that have recieved fines are there because the are being paid. The school, the conference, the NCAA, and NBA can be fined, but they can't touch the player. One of the few advatages he gets by NOT getting paid while in school.
