West Virginia-UCF broadcast didn’t drop an F-bomb over this interception, but it sure sounded like it

UCF Eric Collins West Virginia Beanie Bishop Jr Javon Baker John Rhys Plumlee

You know when you hear something WILD on a sports broadcast and do a double-take, wondering if you heard that exactly right? Well, that’s what happened to a lot of college football fans Saturday during West Virginia’s road game at UCF.

Early in the second quarter with the Knights trailing, 10-7, things got a little rough for them. On first-and-10 from West Virginia’s 37-yard line, UCF quarterback John Rhys Plumlee was picked off by West Virginia cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. for a 31-yard return.

This wasn’t any average interception. Plumlee threw deep to the right sideline, aiming for receiver Javon Baker around the five-yard line. The ball bounced hard in and out of Baker’s arms, and as it shot back up into the air, Bishop pulled it down.

It was a wild interception, and Fox Sports broadcaster Eric Collins on the play-by-play delivered an awesome call of the moment. As his voice was filled with excitement, he described the play: “What a funky interception that was!”

But it sure sounded like an F-bomb.

The first time you hear it, it sure sounds like a NSFW moment on air. But go back and listen to it again, and it’s clear Collins says “funky.”

That was the reaction of many college football fans the first time they heard it, and some are still convinced Collins dropped an F-bomb instead.

Here are some fans' reactions, excluding the (many) NSFW ones:
