Fox moralizes:

Fox also dropped the word "damn" from a special edition of Fox Sports cable program "Best Damn Sports Show Period" which it showed on the main network.

Fox changed "Damn" to "Darn" for the nationwide broadcast audience, and it cut out the audio after one of the hosts repeatedly said "damn." Fox said it had planned to send a different take of the episode to affiliates for broadcast.
To descend into blatant editorialization for a second: Give me a goddamn break. Fox preposterously disallows the word "damn," out of some supposed desire to increase their morality quotient, and then turns around and shows episodes of "Meet Your New Mommy." (Forgive the FCC-unfriendly curse word, but) Rupert Murdoch is an enormous shitbag.
