One of the creepiest events to watch has been the diving competition. Not because the sport is creepy. Actually the sport is surprisingly fun to watch.

No the female announcer, Cynthia Potter,  has been very, very, very creepy. I mean after the 2004 Olympics where I had to suffer through the announcers repeatedly telling us about how the Hamm twins rolled in the hay as young boys (yech! I mean yech!!! I mean twins, hay, rolling.. YECH!!!) I was convinced the creepiness bar could never be surpassed.

No she surpassed it with her asinine comment on why the divers take a shower after each dive:

They just want to have fun.

I mean, what is this the car wash scene from Charlie’s Angels?

And her fawning over the athletes was down right lecherous. I mean, yech…

Of course the cameras which followed the men and women as they take a shower, and the pool that doesn’t have a wall to give them some privacy is just as creepy…

During the woman’s 3 meter diving final, an American diver had a horrible dive where the water sprayed all over the place. The announcer was stunned and could not resist the following comment:

If surf’s up after the diver enters the water, there’s a problem.

This was  a funny page with a bunch of cute definitions

So Hoff just finished a great performance and Andrea is interviewing her:

Andrea; How were you able to recover after your bronze medal performance in the 400 IM? (I mean you were the favorite and choked)

Katie Hoff (who assumes Andrea is talking about the disappointment of how she swam, implying that she choked, and is visibly irritated): well actually I did quite well in that race, matching a personal best.

Andrea: Oh no, I was talking about your endurance (a visibly freaked out Andrea who is not looking forward to being relegated to interviewing people on the street about the Olynpics)

Katie Hoff: OHHHHHHH… that’s what you meant (Lying bitch, but I’ll give you that out so you can keep your job)

Andrea Kremer in the 2004 Olympics set a new low for sports journalism when she ripped into the women’s gymnastic team after the team competition.

Her interview was so poor, that Bob Costas who was watching it live had his hand over his mouth in shock and said:

Thank’s for that interview, Andrea.

Andrea failed to make an appearance at the Olympics after that.

But she’s back, and we have to got track her Andreaism ….
