Guest Redhawk Report post Posted September 1, 2003 During the Nebraska-Oklahoma St. game this weekend, one of the announcers was talking about OSU's history. He mentions Barry Sanders and "Thurman Munson." His partner quickly makes the save: "Thurman THOMAS?" "Yeah, Thurman Thomas." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Anything Harry Caray said after about 1990 would qualify here. He had a particularly bad mispronunciation of "Hideki Irabu" that I remember from the Jim Rome Show awhile back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2003 Oh, OK. Damn that announcer! My personal fav isn't one particular flub, but rather wathing the game pass Pat Summerall by bit by bit. I always loved it when he couldn't keep up with the starting lineup visuals -- he'd be talking about a team's QB while the graphic showing that team's starting WRs would be just off the screen...

Guest Polish_Rifle Report post Posted September 2, 2003 The absolute worst were the Laker games that the late Chick Hearn would call. The dude was absolutely off his rocker! Here comes Kobe yo-yoing up and down the floor, he passes to Worthy, Worthy to Kareem and he passes down low to Shaq, and Shaq with a MONNNSter dunk! Boy Stu, I’m telling you it jus does not get any better than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2003 I find it funny during sport shows like Sportcenter or whatever get the names abbriavted or only the initials of the players and don't have a clue who it is so they just read whatever is on the teleprompter or cue card.

I know they did a joke like that on one episode of Sports Night... from http://www.allsports.com/nhl/rangers/maytemp_graf.htm Friday, May 28, 1999 at 12:12:10 Am I the only one who found Page condescending and obnoxious.......Then again, that's the way a lot of the "sportscasters" are going in these days of "the scores are not important but I am"....Back to Page, just something about him I didn't like. But dfferent strokes for differsnt folks.........Speaking of Girard and funny lines by sportscasters (I remeber the Dougay line), anybody remember when Steve Levy on ESPN was describing an injured baseball player as having "a bulging dick in his back"..A mistake, I know, but hilarious---they couldn't stop laughing.....Hospo ------ By the way, I had to Google-search "Steve Levy bulging dick" to find that...thanks a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2003 Hey, no problem. In exchange, from the Sports Night episode "Dear Louise"... Natalie : On page 66, halfway down, in the NFL injury report, it says: "Collins is expected to miss practice this week, the result of a bulging disk." Dan : Yeah? Natalie : There's a typo on the teleprompter, they left out the "s". Casey : "Collins is expected to be sidelined a week to ten days with a bulging di--" Uh oh! Dan : Whoa, that's a big ten-four. Casey : My next line in the script was "Let's go to the video tape." Natalie : We might have gotten some phone calls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boy Stu, I’m telling you it jus does not get any better than that. For sure. Poor Chicky. He also had Kobe passing to Bryant... His most famous ones were: 1. His comment on Lenny Wilkens' tan. "Boy Lenny's got a nice tan, doesn't he?" 2. When he said Bo Outlaw should grab some bananas while hanging on the rim. Good thing he apologized, publicly and personally, immediately.
