    But most don't make a living with their mouth or have a live mic on when they are drawing their paycheck

    If that's PC then so be it

    Joey Votto doesn’t need a live mic to be heard screaming words that up until the past 7-10 years were considered more vulgar than what Thom said.

    Not all words are created equal are they?

    Even though we're beating a dead horse...if you are a professional broadcaster, then you should completely eliminate curse words and slurs from your vocabulary. Just never use them, ever, personal or professional life. You simply can't have a mistake...some embarrassing and some career ending. And are you really missing out? Would life really be any worse? How often is anyone congratulated for their use of a bad word?
