Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the
Athens 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?"
