IMO, the best quotes are those that make you laugh

"He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces."
“One of the reasons Arnie Palmer is playing so well is that, before each final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them. … Oh, my God, what have I just said?"
"That ball is hit deep to centerfield. Dave Winfield going back, all the way back to the wall... He hits his head on the wall and it rolls off!! It's rolling all the way back to second base!! Oh, this is a terrible thing for the Padres!"

I remember watching an old school (probably 1950's) Ohio St vs. Michigan football game on the BTN a while back. I can't remember exactly the scenario...one team was backed up near their own goal line (I think it was Ohio St). The announcer then pulled out this beauty:
One thing these Ohio St players have never done...is crack.

Don't remember the year but Harry Carey at Wrigley field after a foul ball went into the booth and knocked over his "beverage"
"Looks like we're gonna need a relief pitcher"
"Looks like we're gonna need a relief pitcher"
After the '08 PSU kick, I heard someone say Dolph's call was something along the lines of "It's Good!!!...GET OFF THE FIELD YOU MORONS!!!"
I've searched and searched the net for a sound clip, but I've never been able to track it down. Sounds like it would be hilarious.

I remember an old Denver Broncos game with Al Micheals and Dan Dierdorf (spelling) announcing. I dont remember which one said it:
"John Elway could throw a greasy porkchop past a hungry wolf!"
after a bullet he threw into double coverage.
It was a great line.

And coming in at second place for worst announcer quote, we have Chip Caray. This is the call that got him fired from postseason games on TBS.

"Haywood leads the league in just about every category including nose hair." "When he sneezes it looks like a party favor."
"The Indians scored no runs, one hit, one god damn hit?
"You can't say that on the air"
"Oh who cares, no one is listening anyways."
Sorry, one of my favorite movies..
