9. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'

8. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'

7. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.'

6. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.'

3. Soccer commentator: 'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.'

Hello, Kris and Nathan! The girls were home this weekend and we just had a huge laugh watching the Sally McClellan interview. She was like a little kid. "I did it! Did you see it?" Ha! Too funny!

Gotta love sports announcers. Eric will get a kick out of these for sure. I wonder if he's ever said stuff like this in his career.

Paul Haam is always good for a laugh. He's like the ditzy blonde of men's gymnastics.
