I always wondered what happened to the Man From Atlantis...

:roflmao:

Why can't we hand off a 1oz stick? The men dropped it, the women dropped it, WTF!

I wasn't interested in the Olympics until Team GB started winning a huge amount of medals! :D

we need a bigger stick :p

They have done it!

I doubt anyone who has any knowledge of the opening and closing and everything presented in between will dispute that China set a standard that will stand for decades. Even a non-sport enthusiast like myself has to recognize they have taken hold of the present on a scale not conceived by most of us before.

I believe they were chosen to host the Olympic games by a world that had a much different view of them than every dramatic demonstration has shown us.

Now that the torch is out and the 2008 Summer Olympics is behind us, we should make note of some of the words the army of professionals reporters gave us. :)


Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back.


1. Weightlifting commentator: 'This is Gregorieva 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?


:roflmao:

Is that like saying most of our imports come from other countries?

Well, PF, they're just trying to interest the mainly American audience in soprts that otherwise dont' get much attentin here.
