No, I am not talking about that sure-to-be train wreck of a show on NBC, My Own Worst Enemy.  Does the network think that preview is going to make anyone watch?  I just want to see Santonio Holmes catch at TD pass, damnit, so stop beaming Christian Slater's giant mug into my flatscreen. 

Here, instead, are a few nuggets from our friends at Awful Announcing.  Currently, they are featuring a weekly vote on all the humorous quotes from sports announcers.  Unfortunately for those in front of the mike, we are laughing at them, not with them.

Pam Ward is a regular on the list that bears her name.Some of the better quotes from the week:

• #1 -- "Look for number two to be inserted." -- Kirk Herbstreit, referring to Terrell Pryor
• #5 -- "We see a bunch of wet stuff coming up from the ground."- Pam Ward forgetting the word "water."
• #9 -- "Tough to be accurate when you have this much man in your face."- Charles Davis
• #11 -- "You're talking about two time zones away, three hours difference." -- Andre Ware, talking about Cal having trouble with the time difference.
• #15 -- "In anticipation for the rain, both teams practiced with wet balls this week." -- Alex Flanagan

I am sure it's hard work being in front of a live microphone for three hours at a time ... but that doesn't mean we can't laugh.

And here's another cup of announcing humor, this one made fresh this morning, on ESPN's Mike & Mike:  

"Grab your ankles, and let's go.  Because this could be a tough go." -- Former Ravens head coach Brian Billick, talking about the QB difficulties in Minnesota and the possibility of Gus Ferotte also struggling.  Maybe the coach meant to say "grab your chinstrap" instead?
