Olympic funnies

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 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?'
