A magazine I subscribe to has a weekly column devoted to these kind of things. The mag is "Private Eye", if you are british and don't read this then there is something wrong with you. The column is "Colemanballs" named after a semi famous british sports commentator. Here is this weeks selection for you:

"And he (Zidane) will have a private pool with a gardener thrown in"

"Arsenal could have got away with nil-nil if it wasn't for the two goals"

"We're reaping now what we failed to sow then"

"Matt Dawson, who has been dropped from England, is in hopsital suffering from severe concussion"

"Every green seat has a bottom on it, and they've made some noise tonight"

"Their away record is instantly forgettable. The 5-1 defeat and 7-nil defeat spring to mind"

"I'm not going to drag it out and make a point, because points are pointless"

Recently Private Eye has also started a column "Warballs" which is dedicated to companies trying to make a fast buck off the back of the 11-9 attacks. My favorite of these is:

"Now that the world is getting over the initial shock, and the war against terrorism has begun, what now for bridal retailers?"
From an editorial in "Bridal Buyer"

Although the altime classic has to be:

"The batsmans Holding, the bowlers Willy."

Referring in all honesty to a batsman called Holding and a bowler called Willy, the irony...

Many (many) years ago I was watching Monday Night Football and a pass was thrown to Art Monk (Washington Redskins) and Howard Cosell said "Did you see that monkey catch that!!!!" well since Art Monk is black there was a bit of commotion about it, Cosell had to say sorry, although it was obvious he was talking about an acrobatic catch( and a play on Monks name) and not any racial reference. edited for spelling

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

In Argentina there was a similar to the Palmer balls one.

This golfer, Cabrera, was commenting on how his wife used to kiss his balls before each hole. And the commentator asked... what? the golf ones???
