You may get a laugh of some of these comments; of course a lot is made on the insinuation of the English language!
The top nine comments suposidly were made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics, that they would like to take back, WBMG:
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 co mmentator: "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?"

The prize for the single most embarrassing Olympics technical failure so far must go to the American television network NBC. For anyone of an even slightly geeky bent, one of the highlights of the opening ceremony was the appearance of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web. "This is for everyone," was the message he sent via Twitter to the world from the stadium.
"Who he?" was the reaction of the NBC commentators. They went on to suggest that viewers should Google Berners-Lee to find out more.
An operation which, as many people swiftly pointed out, would have been impossible if a great British scientist had not come up with an idea he called the web more than 20 years ago.
