For those that don't know, Norm Crosby is a hearing impaired comedian whose schtick was to use the wrong words such as "Beertender" instead of "bartender" to ask for a drink. He was most famous in the 70s and early 80s. Google his name to hear some of his routines.

So, to the issue. I'd like to see a thread of some of the best misuses of words by jock-sports analysts.

Starting it off: This morning on "Inside the NFL" on Showtime today:
About homosexuality in 4 major sports: "The lines have been blurred on this issue. There isn't the same kind of astigmatism as there used to be"

So what are some of the funnier lines you have heard? Nominate your favorite analyst.
 
One gaff that I have always enjoyed, since I heard it on a NBC baseball broadcast many years ago was, "Folks, this is perfect weather for today's game. Not a breath of air to be found." (Curt Gowdy). Although I was only a kid, I remember thinking, "What the hell did he just say?" :confused:
