NBC Olympic announcer gaffs
 

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

1. Weight-lifting commentator: 'This is Gregorieva 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?'

Funny stuff. This one is why I hardly watch sports any more.
Listening to sports announcers is always find deja vu again.
