Memorable quotes/phrases in TV announcing

[BisonHurdler]

There are always quotes from race broadcasts that stick out in your mind (e.g. "Look at Mills!"). I thought this might be an interesting thread in which to share some that are particularly engraved in your head. Maybe even turn it into a quiz type thread.

Two that replay in my mind all the time:

1. " . . . DaSilva giving chase! . . . "

2. "______'s GOTTA get on his horse right here."


Two fairly easy ones (I think). Name the competitions/relevant athletes/whatever other details you feel like.

" Do you believe in miracles ?! "

"The Lone Ranger's gotta get on his horse right here."

"The Lone Ranger's gotta get on his horse right here."

Haha, not quite.

"Look at that little monkey run."

Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier! Down goes Frazier!

Well, this was supposed to be a track thread, but all good ones.

If anyone cares, both of mine are from the 90's, involving two different athletes with the same first name.

[James Fields]

About 20 - 30 meters after the start of women's 100m, on outdoor track straightaway, an often-critiqued lady announcer exclaimed concerning the front runner:
. . . . "She's already made up the stagger!"

Hmm, now who could that be :?: She wouldn't happen to have a brother who was a fairly decent LJ/Sprinter :?: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

. . . . "She's already made up the stagger!"

Memorable for all the wrong reasons. Is she still working for NBC?

Carol Lewis: The 300m world record was set in "Pre-oria"(?!) which is in South Africa.

What a wonderful geography lesson from Carol.

[Per Andersen]

"He's short but he's slow"

Well, this was supposed to be a track thread, but all good ones.

Sorry, but I've got to mention a quote from baseball announcer Jerry Coleman:
"(Dave)Winfield goes back to the wall. He hits his head on the wall, and it rolls off! It's rolling all the way back to second base! This is a terrible thing for the Padres!"
