Al Michaels Drops the F Bomb

I've listened many times.  The quote is unequivocally correct as I printed it.

You are wrong. It is not "...I thought..."

 

He clearly says a word that end in "ing" and since he has no reason to say "f#&$ing" it is pretty obvious that "...looking..." is it.

 

Sorry, Hollywood. You are just plain wrong on this. That's cool though...

The "ing" is "came."  "thought-came" = "f*ck-ing"

 

The "th" sound in "thought" is what makes it sound like an "F" sound.  An "L" sound in "looking" would not be mistakable for an F bomb.

Got to agree with you on this one. I don't know what everyone else is hearing.

I understand it...but, you and HD are correct.

 

It's really sounds like "looking" initially (at least to some) and it's easy to keep hearing that if you expect to hear that. I heard that several times, as no clear alternative was available...and it works OK.

 

Then I saw the alternative version "thought came". Of course, I TOTALLY disbelieved it as I know there was an "ing" in there...THAT's the only reason the original joke/scenario works in the first place.

 

UPON FURTHER REVIEW: It's "thought came". Sounds like "[something]-ing"..."looking" works

REALLY well. But keep listening...my guess is you'll hear it eventually.

 

With all that said...it really CLEARLY isn't "fuc#ing". People have very little to do, obviously.
