Forwarded from a friend...


Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators at 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?'

Many of them may have been said at one time or another, but not necessarily by NBC personnel at the 2008 Olympics. A few of them date back many years.
