One of the best one was from the late Howard Cossell who had the annoying habit of putting a "y" or "ie" on every athlete's first name--i.e. Frannie Tarkenton, Sammy Huff--anyway the Oakland Raiders had a player named Fair Hooker and it came out over the air "Fairy" Hooker; which the player took great exception to.

There was another good one from an LPGA commentator many years ago. A Golfer was stuck in a very bad position(play it where it lies and all). She had to straddle some flora/fauna, which lead to the following comment

"It must be real difficult for her to swing with that bush between her legs."

The statement was first made by Arnie's wife on the Johnny Carson show. I know - I saw/heard it. She said it so innocently, and it brought the house down. It was really funny. This commentator is merely repeating what she said.

This is entirely possible, as long as some are equally good.
