Hilarious Olympic Quotes

[GiovanniC]

I just got this forwarded to me. I make no guarantees to their validity, but they're pretty funny either way.

===================================================================

Here are the 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."

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?"

1. My favorite: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven

Dicks on the field."


edit: unless some are women, I guess he has made a true statement.

2. I took down some too!

My roommates and I noticed that there were many hilarious announcer quotes, I tried to take some down but these are how we best remembered them (maybe not as funny as the ones posted, more nonsensical):

the tape job on his left shoulder looks like a human erector set

every boy in romania learns how to use the pommel...because he wants to

that’s dreamy stuff

he’s trying to stick the landing and everyone else is just saying I hope I don’t die

you give the Romanians a chance and they will eat you alive

if you’re Svetlana khorkina, which is a dicey proposition…

the exclamation point can’t get much bigger than that

most women look like they’re fighting the bar, she looks like she’s hugging it

if Romanian gymnastics had an IPO sort of like google, they’d be through the roof

a lot of Romanian hugging going on

4. I heard the 'I hope I don't die' comment

after that Romanian guy's vault - I woulnd't be surprised if that were indeed the case!

8. I didn't hear any of these, and apparently they're debunked, but I

DID hear one while the US mens track team was being interviewed. The interviewer (?) asked why they changed the line up for the 800 (?) meter relay. I guess the speedy guy who started was originally slated to run the last leg, but they changed it. Anyway, the speedy guy says,(from my memory)"Well I've run with Other speedy guy here for so long and I'm just used to giving him the stick, so when he was running in the number 2 spot we changed it because he's so used to taking the stick from me"
