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?

I'm home all alone and laughing out loud. These are hysterical!
That's funny. Thanks!
Oh, thanks, for the much needed laugh! Life has taken some nasty turns lately and this is very much appreciated.
I'm here at work, laughing out loud with tears running down my face.
Priceless, thanks for the laugh!
Hilarious!!!
Thanks for the laughs...
OMG Hilarious!
Not quite in the same vein, but I loved Jay Leno's comment -- "I don't know why they're talking about the Chinese girl gymnasts being so young. Look at the Russian girls. Some of them don't even have facial hair yet."
LOVE IT!!
They are funny but have been around for many years - No. 8 should be a clue as Julian Dicks has not played professional football since 1999 and certainly never in the Olympics.
Geordie
I don't care if they are true or not, they are indeed funny!
I am glad I didn't read them at work, 'cuz I was laughing out loud. Hee, hee!
Those were funny!!!
Especially #1 since I was laughing so hard at the women's weightlifting...the Clean & Jerk? Really????
LMAO!
I'm at my desk cracking up! True or not those were hilarious!
Funny, but made up...prior to 1 September 2004.

Some of these were circulated before the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
"We haven't undertaken exhaustive research to determine which - if any - of these entries might actually have been uttered by a real person...leads us to believe that a good many of these are nothing more than fanciful creations of someone's imagination.
