Olympic Quotes...
 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9. 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?"

oh man, those are priceless! thanks!

Haha! Those were great. Thanks for posting them.

hahahhaha, good stuff!!

Bwahahaha!

I watched a little of the women's weightlifting competition and found myself constantly chuckling and snickering as the announcers described the women's snatches. Good stuff.

I liked them!!

those are great! Got any more?

Haha...that's what happens when athletes become announcers...

number 9 was the funniest

I almost didn't make it through the rest of the list. Tears are streaming down my face... did he really say that?

According to Snopes he didn't, but the list is still funny.

hahaha
loved no.9 man! :)

Every one a gem

did they really say all that? especially the last one :D that one had me laughing out loud

Ummm, these weren't said. I have read this many times, most of them before the 2004 olympics.
Two that did happen:
"Steve is going for the pink ball - and for those of you who are watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green."
Ted Lowe, BBC

"The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey."
Brian Johnston, BBC

Number 9 is a classic.

Thanks for the great laugh! The last one was the best!
