What they said at the Olympics

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the [2004] 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?”
