‘In commenting on his disappointment in the team’s play, Buffalo coach Gregg Williams used a fairly common and relatively mild curse word to describe his state of mind. Still, it created a dilemma for me. I could easily have put in a “bleep”, though to those who aren’t sure what he said, it might seem the actual word was more offensive than the one used. Or, I could have used a synonym, such as “ticked”, which is how the Associated Press handled the issue.’
