Sometimes there is nothing better than a cheap laugh. Yesterday, my good friend Walshy passed along a viral email that you will undoubtedly receive soon. I am posting here for posterity.
Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:
- Weight-lifting commentator: “This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.”
- Dressage commentator: “This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.”
- Paul Hamm, Gymnast: “I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.”
- Boxing Analyst: “Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.”
- Softball announcer: “If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again. In fact you can see it all over their faces.”
- At the rowing medal ceremony: “Ah, isn’t that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.”
- Soccer commentator: “Julian Dicks is everywhere. It’s like they’ve got eleven Dicks on the field.”
- 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?”

Very funny. Although Julian Dicks retired from football about ten years ago, so I think that some of these might be a little recycled!
My favourite of these sporting slip ups was a classic cricket commentary, when Peter Willey was coming in to bowl against the renowned West Indian Michael Holding. The commentator’s famous line? “The batsman’s Holding, the bowler’s Willey.”
You couldn’t make it up.
