Olympic Bloopers

Karl Hofmann on Sun September 12, 2004 3:57 AM User is offlineView users profile

Here are the top 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?"

You have got to give these guys credit for having the ability to keep on talking when there is even nothing going on. I personally find it more bearable when watching a sporting event to turn the volume off. If you see a pitcher throw the ball into the stands, you can reason for yourself its a "ball". Do you really need to be told this? Or an 80 yard return for a TD.

If a team makes a good play, nothing about praise for that team or that player, but if it goes the other way, have to listen about all the problems this team or player had, and in consecutive plays? When they fly off with the statistics of a player from the time that player was born, are you suppose to write this down? Now some events give you a test question before the commercial break with the answer when they return, if they ever return.

They no longer say we are taking a commercial break, someone else pulls the switch and usually when the ball is in the air.

If you really want to mess up your brain, watch a game on TV and listen to the commentary on the radio, you will be checking your TV and radio stations ten times to make sure you are listening and watching the same game.

Unless you have bet a quarter on the game, really doesn't make much difference which team wins, least not to you. But in any sporting event, half the fans leave happy, and the other half are ready to commit suicide because their team lost.

#9 sounds suspicious. The same gag was attributed to Arnold Palmer's wife as a guest on Johnny Carson's "Tonight" show back when Palmer was at the top of his game. Mad sense then, since the golfer provides his own golf balls, in contrast to tennis tournaments.
