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.”
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?”
Yawn. Old, made-up “bloopers” rehashed. Here they are from 2002.

If you want to make them seem a bit more genuine, some attention to detail, perhaps?
1. Bulgarian patronymic naming system means that females names end in -ova or -eva, never -ava.
5. There is no softball at the Olympics.
7. No British coxed medal winners in the 2012 Olympics.
8. Julian Dicks retired from football over 10 years ago.
9. Andy Murray doesn’t have a wife.
Have a special day.
