Great moments in comentary.

Peter Sterling came up with a pearler on Sunday's NRL telecast. When asked what the Rabbitohs needed to do to win the game he said, "They need to restrict Manly to 14 or 15 points and they need to score more than 20 points... ... ... or 14 or 15 points!"

"one of the great spectacles of rugby, the winger brawl.. oooh, i really don't like the colour of your shirt, slap slap..."

LMAO!!!

Ok, it's pro-wrestling but I still consider this to be the greatest commentating blunder in history At the height of the late-1990s ratings war between the WWF and WCW, WCW's Tony Schiavone came out with the following gem:

"Fans, as Hollywood Hogan walks away and you look at forty thousand plus on hand, if you're even THINKING about changing the channel to our competition, fans, do not, because we understand that Mick Foley, who wrestled here one time as Cactus Jack, is gonna win their World title. Ha! That's gonna put some butts in the seats, heh."

At the precise moment he said that, 600 000 people changed to the other channel. WCW never recovered and was out of business within two years...

Listening to the commentary of the Olympic weight lifting, when the big burly German guy was about to lift...

"He has a 115 kilo snatch under his belt"

Thats what the commentary dude said and my bro and I cracked up...most people(girls in particular) maybe wouldn't have laughed or even had the gutter mind to think of it.

...most people maybe wouldn't have laughed or even had the gutter mind to think of it.

Most people I know would have pissed 'emselves laughing.

Play Station 2 commentary on rugby 07 which has since been changed on the 08 version.

Grant Fox, "Yes it's been a tough day at the office for him so his Coach is going to pull him off".

I think it was Phil Kearns....

Wendell Sailor was under a high ball, the ball came down to him and hit him right on the nose.

"Wendell Sailors' had more balls in his face than Elton John"
