back to the comedy please. grouch somewhere else
I got two of them.
Few years back when the Williams' were in the final against each other at Wimbledon. Kenny Mayne says something to the effect of "It's a historic meeting because never before have two sisters faced off in the final match. Also, they're related."
And another, again from Mayne. A well known racehorse had just died and the horse world was in mourning. Of course Sportscenter was doing the usual in memory crap and Kenny says something like, "It was very sad, he will be missed. Of course, then again, it was just a horse."
Both instances where you didn't know if Kenny was being funny or truly just didn't care about his job.
The Mayor
(about Oliver Miller)
"All those Twinkies and he still can dunk."
DARE I SAY....................EN FUEGO!!!!!
Slightly off-topic. Favorite line from a former SportsCenter anchor -- Kilborn when he was on The Daily Show. Ended a headline about Lynyrd Skynyrd with "Lynyrd Skynyrd invented the genre of southern rock because they could not master the intricacies of country music."
Olberman was the best anchor sportscenter has ever had. He came up with some really good ones:
"He puts the biscuit in the basket." - hockey
"From way downtown, BANG!" - basketball
"And there not gonna get him." - football
He also had a baseball one but i don't remember it.
Not sure if he came up with this one, but it is a good one: "Call him bus driver because he's taking them to school."
SC has been all downhill since Keith left. Mayne is funny, Scott is ok and there are a few other good ones, but I really can't stand Dan Patrick and he is on there every show it seems.
Some of the comercials were really good too. Like the one where Clemens is making copies of Ks.
That commercial kills.
My favorite quote: "(Insert Player's Name) is clutch...And clutch is everything in life."
After Barry Bonds thought a long fly ball was a home run...
"And Piazza hits it over the newly erected statue of Barry Bonds in left field..."
here's a little something to make everyone waste today...
When I was a kid I relgiously watched Keith Oberman and Dan Patrick. Those were the days. That being said, I don't have a favorite line from Sportscenter but I do have a favorite commercial. The one where Sportscenter was doing a Y2K test and all hell broke loose. It ended with Charlie Steiner yelling "FOLLOW ME! FOLLOW ME TO FREEDOM" ah, that was a good commercial.
best line ever from that frat-tastic piece of shit:
"that's our show for tonight. good-bye."

Was it the "whiffff," or was that Patrick?
My favorite? "NOTHING!!! but the bottom of the cup," and "BANG! Right in the clown's mouth!"
It wasn't sportscenter, but a sportscaster for a college football game referred to the Florida State quarterback (who at the time might have been Weinke): "Chris Weinke, under duress..."
In the event of a water landing, please use 3rd base as a floatation device...
I know it's over done...but every time I hear it, I smile...
"Say hello to my little friend"...

You have ruined at least an hour of time for me at work.
Thank you.
I remember a great older commercial where one of the anchors is talking with Holyfield (after he KOd Tyson).
Anchor: "Charlie Steiner says you are only the 50th best heavyweight."
Holyfield: "In the world?"
Anchor: "In Atlanta."
Next scene sees Charlie Steiner hiding under a desk and Holyfield, hands wrapped, pacing around the joint saying "Charlie, come and get your whooping. Steiner, where you at."
Can't forget Boomer...
"AND he COULD GO ALL THE WAY"
"(insert person's name) FROM?
"WOOOOOPP!" (when a football player jukes someone)

Mike "your in good hands with" Alstott
Sammy "say it aint" Sosa
curtis "my favorite" martin

ricky "running" waters
"starvin" marvin harrison
