If there's any time to get delightfully drunk, it's after winning the World Series and breaking a 108-year-old curse.

Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein didn't hesitate to get a good buzz going before doing a few TV interviews after the team's clinching Game 7 win.

"I'm going on a bender, so wake me up at the winter meetings," Epstein joked as he crashed an interview with Jed Hoyer, the Cubs' executive vice president and general manager.

Typically saying "fuck" on network TV does not fly – but when Epstein used our favorite four-letter word in a post-game interview last night, it accidentally made it to air.

Cubs superfan Bill Murray interviewed "the boss" in the locker room, and Epstein was quick to douse Murray with champagne. Even more entertaining than their drunk banter is the two men struggling to see out of their alcohol-covered eyes.
