Saints vs 49ers, 2 seasons ago... the game is on FOX. Ricky williams injures his kneee....

"Falling six inches onto grass is like falling six FEET onto concrete"

My other personal favorites, more on the humerous side.....
"Ricky Williams is EXTREMELY thick below the waist"
[with great enthusiasm] "NICE SACK MIKE"

:)

OK funny story:

The wife and I were watching John Madden do a Saints game a year or so ago. Madden says " I'll tell you one thing that gets Mike Ditka really excited...."

My wife's jaw drops, she turns to me with almost a look of disgust on her face and says " what did he just say? "

Say it to yourself kinda fast and you will see what she thought she heard Madden say...I laughed for an hour on that one.

Back in the early 90s during an NFL wildcard game one of the sticks guys on the sidelines got absolutely clobbered by a player, now this gentleman was to put it kindly NOT very attractive. He lay motionless for a couple of minutes and then sat up, the one announcer said "Well he appears to look okay" and the other one said "It depends on what your definition of "okay" is! My buddy and I completely lost it at that point as did the other announcer.

Years ago, I was strobing through the channels and paused for a minute on some NBA game. Rick Barry and Bill Russell were announcing, and during a timeout Barry showed a picture of Bill Russell at some event and said in a friendly chit-chat way, "Look at that big watermelon grin". He didn't even realize what he said, and Russell looked at him like he was from Mars. Russell wouldn't say a word and Barry was fumbling to fill the time, obviously wondering why Russell was just sitting there silently.

I'm completely going to mangle this one, because it's been a couple of years and I wasn't paying that close attention anyway, but during a Packers game, one of the announcers said, "Tootie Williams has one big rectum."

I'm guessing on good ol' Tootie's last name, because his career as a lineman with the Packers was remarkably short, and the truth was, he had a remarkably large butt, which is what I'm sure the announcer meant to comment on, inappropriate as that even would have been. But apparently he got "butt" and "rectum" mixed up - when we heard it, my brother and I just looked at each other like, "did he REALLY just say that?" There was deafening silence in the broadcast booth for a few minutes, then one of the other guys changed the subject really quickly, but it was hilarious.

Don't know his name but Announcer to Mike Tyson when he lost his belt to a definate underdog:



<< So tell me Mike, did you come into here today thinking you would lose? >>

Or something to that effect.

It is my understanding that is why Mike stopped fighting on HBO.

From the greatest sports commentator that has ever been!

&quot; Down goes Frazier...Down goes Frazier... Drown goes Frazier &quot;

And finally, the comment that ended it all...

&quot; Look at that monkey run &quot; --Mr. Howard Cosel

During a hockey game one announcer (not sure who) said: &quot;*blank* beats off *blank* and then he beats off *blank* and goes for the net...&quot;(at which point he realized what he had said and started cracking up)

I heard the replay on a local radio station the next day, that's why I don't remember the names.

Dan Bonner, a commentator for Jefferson Pilot sports (they carry ACC Bball) said that one of the keys of the game was &quot;score more points than the other team.&quot;

Bill Walton at a Knicks game:

&quot;Charlie Ward is hands down, the best inbounds passer in the game.&quot;

BTW, I can't stand Bill Walton.

Here in Canada we have a sports announcer who interviewed a Team Canada hockey player after a heart-breaking really close loss in the gold medal game. This player had also endured the death of his father recently, so mere minutes after this oh-so-close loss, the announcer is interviewing the player and asks something along the lines of &quot;Your father's dream was for you to win the gold - do you feel that by loosing the gold you have dishonored your father's memory?&quot;

At that point the 245 pound hockey player broke down into tears and the interview had to be cut off.

Too many to mention from the legend, Chick Hearn. You can always count on at least one time per Laker broadcast going, &quot;What did he just say?????&quot;

The hubby and I were watching an OHL game(can't remember the teams) and a player by the surname of &quot;Dickie&quot; scored a goal.

&quot;Now that's a DICKIE DELIGHT!!!!&quot;-the announcer shrieked enthusiastically.

Both the phrase and his excited tone had us howling with laughter.

I was watching golf on TV about 15 years ago...heh, and they had an announcer trying to generate live Q/A interviews with players while they were in between shots. The question was, &quot;what will your strategy be for the rest of this hole?&quot; the answer, &quot;I am going to try to put the ball in the cup.&quot;
