Sports commentators are even more stupid than politicians and that's hard to achieve.

Of course then there's the Murrayisms that made Murray Walker such a commentating legend. While he knows his F1, he also was known to get it wrong - big time ;)

Absolutely hillarious.

With respect to (4), a Danish news anchor once said something similar. I think it was something like "several people were killed in the accident, some of them seriously".

glad it raised a few smiles... This place can be a little too serious at times, so i like to lighten it up every now and then
