My Favourite Commentators Summer Olympic Remarks

[aussie_shark_bait]

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:


Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious."

Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."

At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew."

Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."

Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?"

My favorite recent comment wasn't so much a slip of the tongue. In the recent Florida Tennessee college football game, a penalty was called on Florida for unnecessary roughness for retaliation in kind (a moderate blow to the facemask) to a Tennessee player in an open spot. THe announcers immediately said, "They only see the retaliation!" Then they showed the replay where the official was facing the players from 5 yards (4.572 meters) away. The response? "Oh wait, he's right there facing them. He had to have seen both penalties. So apparently with less than Solomonic wisdom, he only called the Florida penalty! Wow!"

Less than Solomonic wisdom, I love it!!

FYI, for that and a couple of other issues, the entire officiating crew was suspended after that game. Here's to bringing all the top tier Florida colleges into the same conference. Screw Boston College, UF to the ACC!
