I stumbled across this little gem whilst on my usual BBC check!

Sorry in advance if none of it makes sense for Americans! I don't know if these things mean the same over there

The BBC cricket team were famous for their unintentional double-entendres.Another classic was when Brian Johnston commented
"..and you join us where the bowler's Holding,the batsman's Willey"

It's my local team,St Mirren. Soccer here of course. As far as the 2 big teams in Scotland are concerned - Rangers and Celtic - I'm neutral.
In the English league I like to see the smaller teams do well so I was disappointed that Blackpool got relegated last season.

I don't have a favourite team in American football,but I like to follow the Super Bowl anyway.

Those quotes are hilarious,WildColonialBoy.
Another one I remember is David Coleman commentating on a Cuban sprinter who was lengthening his stride
"Juantarena opens up his legs and shows us what he's got"

It seems like the whole world has chunks of "Are You Being Served?" in it.

Comparing a new grip for the handle of your cricket bat to a condom!? And going into such elaborate detail?
Sorry if I ruined the story for everyone else, but I don't know whether to laugh, groan (at the puns involved), or cry.
