    TEN THINGS THAT SPORTS PRESENTERS
    WISHED THEY HADN'T SAID:

    1. Weightlifting commentator at the women's Olympic Snatch and Jerk Event: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing."

    2. Ted Walsh - Horse Racing Commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother."

    3. Grand Prix Race Announcer: "The lead car is absolutely, truly unique, except for the one behind it which is exactly identical to the one in front of the similar one in back."

    4. Greg Norman, Pro Golfer: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father."

    5. Ringside Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries and even some deaths in boxing - but none of them really that serious."

    6. Baseball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again."

    7. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it.. In fact you can see it all over their faces."

    8. At a trophy ceremony BBC TV Boat Race 1988: "Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the Cambridge president is hugging the cox of the Oxford crew."

    9. Metro Radio, College Football: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field."

    10. US Open TV Commentator: "One of the reasons Arnie Palmer is playing so well is that before each final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them. Oh my God, what have I just said?"

    I always liked the famous cricket one, where England's Peter Willey was bowling to the West Indies' Michael Holding. The commentator said:

    "The batsman's Holding, the bowler's Willey!" oooh errrr...

    Oh, I was a sports writer and a radio color commentator. I have a ton:

    At a USC football game, holding a thin lead: "It's 4th and 3...will the Trojans break here?"

    Play-by-Play teammate: "We're at the Whitey Ford Center for tonight's game..."
    Me: "They named a Rehab clinic after him too..."
    PBP: "No, that's the BETTY Ford Clinic..."

    PBP: "And the Tigers go up, 2-0!"
    Me: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the first basket of the game."

    PBP: "We're tied, 14-14"
    Me: "That's pretty close"

    PBP: "What was the problem on that fumble?"
    Me: "Well, he dropped the ball...You just can't do that"

    PBP: "What did you think of the offense's execution?"
    Me: "I'm in favor of it"

    PBP: "Any thoughts on this game?"
    Me: "The beginning and the end were too far apart"

    PBP: "The Great Oklahoma Coach Bud Wilkinson led the Sooners to a record unbeated streak in the 60's"
    Me: "He must've done that before he died."

    PBP: (Reading other scores) "...and in other playoff games, Grove 28, Grove 0...wait, that's a typo..."
    Me: "No, that's right...the coach said, 'We just beat ourselves tonight'."

    Sports presenter rule number one:

    Always say "World Cup Soccer" very carefully.
