Olympic bloopers moments in the booth





Here are the top 10 comments made by NBC sports commentators during the

Summer Olympics that they would like to take back but, alas . . . :



1. Weight-lifting 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 analy st: '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?'



10. Another favorite is during the diving competitions two nights ago the

commentator said... 'Look at that... you aren't getting anything between

those legs.'

Very funny, but I doubt that they are true. I first heard the balls and snatch comments when I was a lad.

Re the balls comment. Supposedly the wife of a pro golfer was being interviewed by Johnny Carson, and innocently said that she kissed his balls for good luck before every tournament. According to the story, Johnny looked away and arched his eyebrows, then turned back to her and asked, "What do you do with his putter?"

Yes, these haven't been verified.

The Johnny Carson reply/retort was even better, but I heard it differently.

True or not they were a very good chuckle.

One that is definitely true, as I watched it happen on TV a couple of mornings back....

One of the sports reporters on the BBC Breakfast News keeps trying out new sports, new to him that is. This week he tried golf and was useless. The last clip showed him finally successfully completing a putt.
Back in the studio the link man says "It doesn't matter how many times you have to try, when you finally get it in the hole it's a wonderful feeling". The female link sat beside him was nearly wetting herself and the expression on the link man's face when he thought back to what he'd just said was priceless.
