Hot mics took over the NFL in Week 8 as several profane remarks found their way into broadcast across the league on Sunday afternoon.
During a matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium, the mic picked up a frustrated fans explicit reaction late in the second quarter.
With the Packers up, 10-7, they were gearing up for a 46-yard field goal attempt when a fan expressed his frustration and was heard on Fox’s broadcast.
‘God damn it. Are you f***ing out of your mind?’ he exclaimed. The scream was briefly met with silence before Kenny Albert and Jonathan Albert began joking during the call.
‘Was he yelling at you?’ Vilma asked his broadcast partner.

‘I don’t think it was us,’ Albert said. ‘At least that time.’
‘It was so aggressive, Vilma added. ‘I thought he was yelling at one of us.’
‘Was that our producer, Fran Morrison?’ Albert asked.
‘Sounded like him,’ Vilma said.
‘Or perhaps a soundalike,’ Albert replied.
While Albert and Vilma remained classy while dealing with the fan’s unfriendly reaction, more profanity flew through the airwaves 204.8 miles south at Raymond James Stadium.
As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosted the Atlanta Falcons, the broadcast picked up a man screaming ‘F***ing c**t,’ halfway through the third quarter. Atlanta went on to win 31-26 to move to a 5-3 record.
On the other hand, Tampa Bay’s second straight loss moved them to 4-4.
The Bucs would not be the only team from Florida to suffer a loss, as Green Bay overcame Jacksonville, 30-27. The Packers and Jaguars are now 6-2 and 2-6, respectively.
