Can they say that?

Remember my complaints about CBS's announcers not knowing when their mics were active during online broadcasts? While half-watching the Lions game just now, I looked up after the return from a commercial break and heard one of the announcers say, "They'll rip his head off and pour beer down the corpse."

Was that another mic gaffe, or do sports announcers have that much leeway with their language these days? I don't necessarily mind if those are words that you can say on television now, but I do like keep my knowledge of what is and isn't permissible up to date.
