World Fucking Champions

One day we'll grow up and wonder why people ever cared about this stuff.

It was hardly on the scale of a wardrobe malfunction, but Chase Utley's dropping of the F-bomb on live TV and radio yesterday caused a stir among some Philadelphians.

After proclaiming "World champions!" at the Phillies' celebration at Citizens Bank Park, the smiling second baseman leaned into the microphone and inserted a familiar two-syllable profanity between "world" and "champions."

The crowd loved it, erupting into cheers for several minutes. Local TV and radio stations covering the event live, however, were less amused.
