'Kay, I'll admit that I don't know if these are true, and for a change I'm feeling too fuckin' lazy to do any research (wierd, isn't it?).
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." I think he got this from a CU football player.
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?"
