Also another Nascar classic...

Rusty Wallace was aksed how he felt about Jeff Gordon's wife (now ex-wife) sitting in with the pit crew during their races. Wallace responded something like, "I think it's ridiculous. My wife is up in the stands where she belongs!".

This is what I have been told, so this may or may not have actually occurred during an actual broadcast. Still pretty funny though.

I also don't understand why this is funny/uncomfortable/anything but standard. It's not like he said she was home making him a sandwich where she belongs.

I love how for this to be generally accepted as a bad comment, we all need to agree that women generally belong in the kitchen. lol. Women.

It's like how people get enraged over black people/fried chicken comment. There is nothing inherently wrong with saying a black guy was eating chicken. But it's a stereotype, because they actually generally like to eat chicken. But then wait...if it's true, why is it wrong?!? I'm confused. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

There's nothing wrong with a woman making a sandwich for her husband, but some people would think it offensive for the husband to say she "belongs" in the kitchen making him a sandwich, i.e., her place is in the home, serving her husband and not doing anything else.

Why is this confusing, exactly?

Not really broadcasting, but Ozzy singing at the Cub's game was pretty bad.

My post wasn't directed toward you. It was just thinking out loud.

There was a Sunday night or Monday night football game a few years back and they cut to the female sideline reporter and she had a huge booger hangin out her right nostril. She got a few words in before the producer saw this monsterous booger and cut to a different picture as the audio stayed with her about whatever injury she was babbling about.

If you blinked you missed it, anyone else remember this? It was the year before or the year after Lisa Guerrero worked MNF sideline.

I'm too lazy to find it, but a post-game interview with Earl Weaver after an awful loss is the clear winner, assuming it's real.

Nothing uncomfortable about it. Just plain funny.

An Earl Weaver obscene tirade

Roger Clemens is in George's Box (Suzyn Waldman)

Trying to find some homerun calls that weren't really homeruns, but no luck, those are always a good laugh.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the SportsCenter where one of the anchors meant to say "bulging disk" but left out the 's'.

Wasn't that an episode of Sports Night?

Yes, but it actually happened on SportsCenter. Steve Levy was the anchor.
