OLYMPIC GLORY IN BROADCASTING

 

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the London 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?"
