Nine Top Comments about the Olympics

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

(Snatch = single movement lift. The athlete must lift the bar from the floor to arm’s length above his head in one movement. Clean and jerk = two movement lift. The athlete must lift the bar from the floor in a single movement to the shoulders and then raise the bar to arm’s length over their head.)

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 girlfriend takes out his balls and kisses them. Ohmygod, what have I just said?
