Sports commentators



-------------------------------------------------------------------------


Here are some 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 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?"

11. Murray Walker - Formula 1 commentator
   "Alain Prost is in a commanding second position."
   "A mediocre season for Nelson Piquet as he is now known and always 
   has been."
   "With two laps to go then the action will begin, unless this is the 
   action, which it is."
   "And now Jacques Laffitte is as close to Surer as Surer is to 
   Laffitte."
   "Nigel Mansell is the last person in the race apart from the five in 
   front of him."
