Sports commentators snafus

A REAL "snafu" was when Jimmy The Greek got fired because he said on the air that Black football players were bigger and stronger because slaves were bred for strength during the slave days.

I'm a big dork!

Ya know, Cyberfreak, in Guam they make "sushi" out of spam... I got an idea... MOVE THERE with your spam

This one is completely true - I even remember laughing my ass off when he said it.

Poor Murray hasn't been quite the same since Nigel Mansell left F1.

Here's one more of his gems:

"'Three Escorts, 1-2-3, not surprisingly, because they're all Ford Escorts in this race."

Here's some more - Poor Old Murray

(Taken from http://www.womanonwheels.co.uk/jokes.htm)

....the lead is now 6.9 seconds. In fact it's just under 7 seconds.
Alboreto has dropped back up to fifth place.
As you look at the first four, the significant thing is that Alboreto is fifth.
Tambay's hopes, which were nil before, are absolutely zero now.
It's raining and the track is wet.
And this is the third placed car about to lap the second placed car.
This is an interesting circuit because it has inclines, and not just up, but down as well.
You can't see the digital clock because there isn't one.
... and Blundell is doing very well in sixth position ... in fact he's lapping 2.5 seconds faster than Blundell who is in fifth position.
The Italian Grand Prix at Monaco...
"...and he's lost both right front tyres"
Murray: And look at the flames coming from the back of Berger's Mclaren! James Hunt: Actually, Murray, they're not flames - it's the safety light.
... and there's no damage to the car.......except the car itself.
and I interrupt myself to bring you this...
"Unless I'm very much mistaken... I am very much mistaken!"
"Do my eyes deceive me, or is Senna's Lotus sounding rough?"
This has been a great season for Nelson Piquet, as he is known... and always has been.
And the first five places are filled by five different cars.
...Cruel luck for Alesi, second on the grid. That's the first time he had started from the front row in a Grand Prix, having done so in Canada earlier this year...
Mansell can see him in his earphone...
Murray: What's that? Theres a BODY on the track!!! James Hunt: Err.. no Murray, there's a piece of bodywork from someone's car on the track.
I'm applying intelligence and observation to the situation...
"Andrea de Cesaris...the man who has won more Grands Prix than anyone else without actually winning one of them"
And we have had 5 races so far this year: Brazil; Argentina; Imola; Schumacher and Monaco!
"With the race half gone, there is half the race still to go"

I remember the halftime guy on the superbowl said..."and coming up at halftime, Third Blind Eye!"
