1) I haven't had a chance to watch Sports Center the last couple of days, so please fill me in.

Vanderbilt coach has a policy of no cursing at all. He makes the players run if they curse anytime, anywhere on the field. He makes them do up-downs, run sprints or many other physical activity for violating a team rule. As a result, the players have come up with their own language. The report was rather funny. They came up with all these made up words to replace actual curse words.

2) If the "F-word" does not fit the definition of vulgar or unsporting conduct that is extreme in nature, then we have a real problem in our society.

It is not a matter of what the society thinks, it is a matter of context. Like I said before, there has to be some context to what they are saying. I am not going to throw out a kid, especially in college for using this word. I am going to use common sense and understand who they are saying it to and why they are saying it. My job is to get in and get out, not to cause trouble. And like Ed Hightower says, "when you call a T, it should make the game better." I just do not see how throwing a kid out for one F-word makes the game better.
