Sports announcer bloopers
« on: July 25, 2008, 12:11:13 AM »
1. Weightlifting commentator at the women’s 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 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. U.S. 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?”

1. Was she a thief of time?

2. Is its mum on the house mantelpiece?

3. Classic Murray! Though wouldn't "exactly identical to the one front of the similar one in back" make it identical to itself? :D

4. He must be one lucky guy to have three (or more) parents!

5. I never knew clowning around in the ring was so dangerous...

6. Short of exiting the space-time continuum, yes.

7. What can you say? Except "Yuck!"

8. I hope no-one heard that...

9. What is it with awkward surnames?

10. I think he meant the golf balls...

Julian Dicks actually played for West Ham in the English soccer league not American college football.  I remember hearing that commentary and the Murray one about the identical unique car.

Then there's the old basketball standby:

I know nothing about cricket but the most famous cricket blooper involves an English batsman called something Willey and a West Indies bowler called Michael Holding.

The very proper and ancient cricket commentator announced 'the bowler is Holding the batman's Willey' and disappeared into hysterics for the next ten minutes as cricket commentators seem to do at juvenile humour.

Juvenile humour is the best in the world.  :DD
