I was wondering if this video would make it around to the Blog and the SB! Fabulous!! Nearly fell out of my chair laughing the first time I saw this.
If NBC's coverage of the Olympics was as good as this guy's, I would watch their channel.

I dunno, that language sounds pretty nautical to me. I've heard those words used by several sailors I know.
I think at least one of those racers may have been hitting the grog before the start.

As their friends at Guinness would say, Brilliant!
What Catherine says. Can't we get this guy instead of Al Trautwig to do the gymnastics next time?

Note to NBC: Hire this guy for 2016! He is so much more entertaining (and less annoying) than Bob Costas!

*SNORK* This guy is hysterical!
BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JUDI!!!

I'd like to hear him call a NASCAR race. Very funny.

NC -- "They are turning left again. Left again. Lunatics in the stands are making a lot of noise. Another left. Another left..."

Perfect, NMUA! You channeled him!
Posted by: Just Some Guy | August 09, 2012 at 08:56 AM
That's funny. That's an Irishman alright.
Posted by: Theresa | August 09, 2012 at 09:13 AM
I love the way the Irish say the "F" word FAWKING! Doesn't even sound bad!
That was hilarious! OH my God that was the Beginning of the race? If there were a pool around I would be peeing in it right now for laughing so hard.

This guy'd make a chess game exciting.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | August 09, 2012 at 09:46 AM
That guy's fantastic!
I quit watching most sports years ago because too many "game(s) of the century" were aging me.
But I'd watch whatever just to get some honest commentary like that.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. A contract is on its way to him. He could make process improvement actually work.

Anyone have a link that isn't on liveleak.com?
Posted by: DrPat | August 09, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Try thatvideosite.com, DrPat. Apparently the IOC aren't too impressed. Nosensaumour.

Did he really say that the one sailor was "from Español"? Too funny--she's not Spanish; she's *from* Spanish.

Understatement of the entire Olympics: " ... I don't really understand the strategy or tactics ..."
Hilarious. Makes the entire London extravaganza worthwhile.

it's judi's birthday??!
dear judi ;) here's hoping your day will be flawless,
have a nice irish stout, and
erin-go-bra-less!

I'm not sure he's actually Irish. He mispronounced "fookin" and "eedjit."
Posted by: padraig | August 09, 2012 at 12:20 PM
You could use the same commentary for a bunch of Irishmen rugby fans trying to find their way to the loo after a match.

Seems he's been takin' a lesson from our Dave - the commentary's the thing, and let the actual results go hang!
