see if at least one of them doesn't make you smile


Actual comments made by sports commentators that I'm sure they would like to
take back:

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

2. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator:
"This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I
once mounted her mother."

3. Grand Prix Race Announcer:
"The lead car is absolutely, truly unique, except for the one behind it
which is exactly identical to the one in front of the similar one in back."

4. Greg Norman, Pro Golfer:
"I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

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

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

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

8. At a trophy ceremony BBC TV Boat Race 1988:
"Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the Cambridge president is hugging the cox
of the Oxford crew."

9. Metro Radio, College Football:
"Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the
field."

10. US Open TV Commentator:
"One of the reasons Arnie Palmer is playing so well is that, before each
final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them. Oh my God, what
have I just said?"
