shabizzle Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Some funny quotes I thought were worth posting here, a couple including Ron Franklin. Original post from bleacher report My link MAYBE BROADCASTING IS EASIER THAN I THOUGHT This week’s wacky and weird announcer quotes… “Jeremiah Masoli has to play offense AND quarterback.” – Lou Holtz “That is a little scary proposition with the pickles from Professor Picklestein.” – Beth Mowins “A quarterback’s gotta be big and strong, good-looking, and smart.” – Bob Griese “They’re smiling in Boise, Ohio.” – John Saunders “First time in Cincinnati history that three Wildcats [had over 100 yards receiving] in one game.” – Rob Stone calling the Bearcats game “I see those hips on the hands.” – Craig James “Your brain is still stuck inside that helmet.” – Mike Patrick “Jeannine, let’s check in with you. Alfonzo Dennard went out of the ballgame and he’s still out. Is he okay? – Ron Franklin “Yeah, Ron. Actually no. Um, he has suffered a concussion…” Jeannine Edwards :facepalm: :facepalm: “It’s Halloween weekend and Randy Shannon is in the middle of a nightmare.” – Bob Wischusen “They slip Montel Williams out the backside.” – David Archer describing a completion to Montel Harris “Alright Mike, Studio Update brought to you by, well…brought to you by me.” – Robert Flores “4:45 on the game ****.” – Dave Neal on the South Carolina broadcast “Here come the 2000 edition of the Nittany Lions.” – Brad Nessler as Penn State runs out of the tunnel “Ricky Stanzi could have read War and Peace back there, he had so much time.” – Matt Millen “I don’t know if I believe anything that comes out of Lane Kiffin’s mouth.” – Bob Griese (On Chip Kelly’s love of the two-point conversion) “He’d go for four if they let him.” – Mike Patrick “Helu continues to have just a ‘hellucious’ day.” – Ron Franklin “The S on the helmet for ‘smart’ and for ‘stud’.” – Glenn Parker “Nice chest move here in the game of chest.” – Andre Ware (Actually, Andre, the game is called chess.) “There’s a clock in every quarterback’s hand that he has to understand, ‘I’ve got to get rid of the ball.’” – Herm Edwards “We’re gonna play Howie Mandel here…is this ‘taunt’ or ‘no taunt’?” – Verne Lundquist And a couple final thoughts… Memo to Matt Millen: Please learn how to pronounce the name of Iowa’s head coach correctly. (It’s FAIR-ints, not fur-ENTZ) Memo to Brent Musburger: From now on, make sure your broadcast actually HAS gone to commercial before you start critiquing the attendance to your partner. (Otherwise, we hear this: “We’ll be right back. [long pause] The stadium’s half empty.” – Brent Musburger Quote Link to comment

Landlord Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 That Fonzo update with Jeanine Edwards made me laugh? Ron asked if he was okay, and she says "Yeah Ron", so I think "oh sweet he's okay!" then she instantly says "actually um..no." and I think " ". Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 When Ed Cunnignham was talking about Missouri's defensive package, The Fist, I laughed a little. Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 When Ed Cunnignham was talking about Missouri's defensive package, The Fist, I laughed a little. Yeah, after the opponent has scored 24 points in the 1st quarter, talking about the "Fist" defense is pretty comical. Quote Link to comment
CornHunka Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 ESPN's Chris Mortensen was commenting on Brett Farve's injury and actually said that Farve may have suffered a joken bra. Quote Link to comment
