Sports announcers saying stupid things -- post 'em in here (1 Viewer)

Late in the 4th quarter after Roethlisberger through an interception when Pitt was trying to ice the game:

Phil Simms "Probably the baddest decision he's made all year"

Wow...

 
Not an announcer, but Wiz coach Randy Whitman: "Winning in this league is hard. If it was easy, everyone would do it".

You could exclude everyone else on planet earth and this thread could still go on and on.

You might want to bookmark @PhilSimmsQuotesSome gems from this weekend:

"If you're a player that gets kicked out of this game, you are one word: not very smart"

"He threw it right where he wanted to...This one was a little off target"

"The Steelers defense is back on the field. I bring this up because conditioning is part of the deal."

"I knew you were going to ask me that question, that's why I answered it." (Nantz: "No, that's really no question at all.")

"Dangerous. That could have been a lateral...which it was."

"They have to convert. But tell your defense: if they can make a tackle, get them down."

Phil Simms: "The only question is whether the Broncos will run or pass"

(as the camera shows the Broncos with an empty backfield)

Seconds later, Simms says: "It's the exact same formation as before, except with a running back..."

Then Nantz points out that the running back has moved to the slot. :lol:

 
Listening to Seahawks/Pathers on Sirius radio in car, I'm pretty sure I heard the announcer describe a Seahawk's WR as a "whirling derby."

 
Early in Den/Pit Simms said that when you're undermanned and playing at home, you hope to win the special teams battle. He was referring to the Broncos. Who were missing nobody. And playing the Steelers who started an injured Ben and were missing their #1 and #2 RBs and their #1 (in the world) WR. :doh:

 
Had one in a college basketball game a few weeks ago that stuck with me. Not really stupid, but just an awful play-by-play call. Made basket ties the game 55-55. With lots of enthusiasm from the announcer "and we've got double nickels across the board!"

 
Gus Johnson gave a huge "FOR THE WIN" on a 3 pointer with at least 6 seconds left the other day. Think it was the Seton Hall - Villanova game. 

 
Not exactly a sports announcer, but Calipari's whole rant yesterday that the committee apparently seeded Kentucky where they did simply because they wanted to irritate him sure deserves a mention.

 
speaking of the selection show- I love how the experts call every team "dangerous" and then end up picking the favorites in just about every matchup

 
Collinsworth in midseason form.  His amazing stat of the night -- "these two teams (Bengals and Jags) have not played since 2014".  Ok Chris...so they haven't played in exactly one season.  Thanks for dropping that knowledge on me  :nerd:

He made me laugh tonight when he described Bortles as a "gunplayer" (obviously meant gunslinger).

 
The color guy on the Chargers game today, lobbying for a stadium deal to get done;

"Once a team leaves, it's not coming back."

Except for, you know, LA, St. Louis, Houston, Cleveland...

 
When they were talking about Al's 50th wedding anniversary, I think I heard Chris say he saw Al do something for his anniversary with rocks on a beach in Sochi. Now there are a couple of things potentially wrong with that statement:

  • Sochi was a winter Olympics, don't think they were walking on a beach.
  • Sochi was held in February 2014, so if Al's was celebrating his anniversary, how could also it be now in August?
Moron.

Sochi is a beach resort.

If that's when their anniversary was, that's when they'd go, and be back in time for the broadcast.

I'm not saying Collinsworth wasn't an idiot, because that's usually a bad bet.  Just saying it's possible this time.

C'mon, were talking about Collinsworth, I have to be right!!! ;)

 
I wasn't paying really close attention to the game on TV during our draft, but I heard one guy saying something along the lines of, 'I told [player x] that I thought he was going to have a really great year this year, and he agreed with me.' It was one of those moments when you look up from what you are doing because it was such a empty statement, and sounded so stupid.

This Lewis Black bit pretty much mirrors my reaction.
