Funniest announcer comment ever!

TomBrady#1 · Oct 5, 2006

What are the best announcer comments you have ever heard in the heat of the battle? Here is mine.

THe Boston Celtic home announcer is the well known Tommy Heinson. Well about 5 years ago in the 4th Qt of a game, Adrienne Griffin took a big shot and made it....Heinson calmy but matter of factly said: " Mike (to broadcast partner Mike Gorman) he has got big ones. Then he said it again. "Mike he has got big ones". Gorman never responded and it was one of the funniest lines ever from an announcer.

Not the funniest but the most annoying:

"IT'S A FOOT RACE!"

Of COURSE it's a foot race you MORON. What are they gonna do, jump on bicycles at the 20 yard line? Just say IT'S A RACE. WE KNOW THEY ARE ON FOOT!!!

I love Heinson...

My favorite Heinson moment was the game against Phoenix where he went abolsutely OFF...'And they're gonna call that a FOUL?!?!?!'...remember that game...the whole fourth quarter was screaming at the ref.

Minnesota Gopher football announcer when they were playing Oregon State back in the 80's when they were probably one of the worst teams in football, Minnesota is up about 55-0 early in the fourth quarter.

He says " The Beaver are really taking a licking today "

Not exactly play-by-play, but I was out of my seat laughing.
Tonight on CBC's HNIC, while talking about the Pittsburgh Penguin sale, Ron McLean comments on the new owner:
"...he looks like a hockey gay, uh, guy. Freudian slip, there..."

Jerry Coleman is infamous for these:

"He leaped up to make one of those diving stops only he can make."
"He slides into second with a stand up double."
"McCovey swings and misses, and it's fouled back."

a friend told me of this some time ago...he claimed Bob Costas was doing the pbp for some sporting game, one team was really killing the other team, and Costas said "this is a real blow job"...anyone ever hear of it? i might have the actual phrase down but I know that blow job was in it and it was real funny when my friend said it

This one had most of the state of Michigan laughing for 2 days
and a very embarrassed female news anchor who will,
in the future, likely think before she speaks.

What happens when you predict snow, but don't get any?

We had a female news anchor who,
the day after it was supposed to have snowed and didn't,

turned to the weatherman and asked:

"So Bob, where's that 8 inches you promised me last night?"
Not only did HE have to leave the set,
but half the crew did too, they were laughing so hard!

It was more of what they didn't say, watching a Red Sox game and the person that they had down in the stands interviewing people said a really stupid joke. Back up to Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo who started talking then one of them just started laughing. It had to be about 10-12 pitches of neither one being able to say anything because they were laughing so hard. I started laughing on my couch as well just because they were laughing so hard.

Nothing but silence and snickering.

Would love to see a clip of that. Youtube, maybe?

Not sure whom said it, but years ago during a baseball game, an announcer noticed a loving couple. He said he apparently kisses her on the strikes and she kisses him "on the balls". Also I remember a Harry Carey classic late in the season in '82. The ball girl was a former Miss Illinois and was wearing sweat pants, as it was a chilly day at Wrigley. Well, they show her by the dugout and Harry says "that's first time I've seen her with her pants on".

That was also Harry Caray. That's what I was going to post.

there was a GREAT ONE YESTERDAY in a baseball game. I'm not a baseball fan, but in the Detroit/Yanks game, one of the outfielders for the Yanks (Giambi) I believe, the announcer said "that guys arm's weak" when the ball was hit in the outfield, I laughed at that the way it was said, then when he THREW the ball, the announcer said "oh, look at that, it looks like the ball has a parachute on it." Man, I was cracking up. Did anyone else hear this?

We could probably start a thread just on Harry.

The outfielder was Damon and the throw didn't bend the grass when it fell.

NFL_BLITZ · Oct 6, 2006

I'm football and basketball all the way, don't know a thing about baseball. I just happened to catch that line and though it was funny as hell. The way he was saying the guy's arm was weak (Damon as buckeye said) was pretty funny, but right after he threw the ball, making that parachute comment was hysterical man.
