Olympic Goofs

Jeff620RXC · 09-03-2004, 01:10 PM

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators 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."

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?"

I was once told that Johnny Carson had Arnold Palmers wife on.

JC "Is there any ritual you have before Arnie plays in a Tournament? To give him luck I mean."

APW "Well I kiss his balls."

JC "I'll bet that makes his putter stand up!"

The "kissing the balls" routine is from Johnny Carson and Arnold Palmer. No I am not old enough that I saw it live, but did see a replay...

Arnie: My wife kisses my balls before a big tournament.
Johnny: I bet that makes your putter flutter!

He got sued (and paid) for that which makes me wonder if anyone else is dumb enough to say it.

It is a funny list but..............................

Don't know how many are real, if any, but I've read that many times in the last five years. No Olympics, certainly.

BTW: Since when is golf an olympic sport?
