Just watched “Dodgeball”, and Jason Bateman is awesome in it. It got me wondering about who is the best sports commentator in a movie/TV show?

My vote has to go with Bob Uecker in “Major League”. After all this time, people still quote him from that movie.

Yeah Uecker as Harry Doyle is pretty easily #1 imo, but John Candy in Rookie of the Year is pretty awesome too

Anyone here watch “Brockmire”? He is the reason I included TV shows in this thread. That show is awesome.

"She was wearing a strapon and plowing our neighbor Bob Greenwald and folks I do mean right in the arse! Fastball misses fastball misses, just low, count goes full, 3 and 2."

"Hey, for you kids at home, a strap-on is a belt with a dildo on it that mommies use to penetrate daddies, as Ibanez strikes out on a high fastball. That'll bring Clark up to bat."

"That ball can’t be buried at a Jewish cemetery because it just got tattooed!"

"Just because I don't want to wear a condom anymore doesn't make me your boyfriend."

Came here to post this.

Necessary Roughness is what immediately came to mind.

I think Rob Schneider gives Uecker a run for his money.

Chuck Neiderman : I hope you stay tuned for our halftime extravaganza, as the Texas State marching band does its salute to gun racks and open beverage containers; which is only legal in Texas.

Chuck Neiderman : Edison down at the Jayhawk 27. Although he did hydroplane to the 19.

Chuck Neiderman : Now how could the ref call that? It was a clean kick to the face mask.

Chuck Neiderman : [over the campus loud speaker] Hey Armadillo Fans! This is Chuck Neiderman. The voice of the Fighting Armadillo! This season your football team needs more than your support. So if any of you listener can punt, pass, block or kick, then report to the gymnasium at 3 o'clock sharp for open football tryouts.

Chuck Neiderman : [after Manumana's tackle] BIIIIGGG sack by Manumana the Slender! Who does his "I'm gonna go out and get some POI" sack celebration dance!

Chuck Neiderman : A 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown could give the Colts a false sense of confidence going into the second minute of play.

Bob Uecker with Jason Bateman as color commentator would be gold.

It’s not a movie, it’s a series called Brockmire on IFC and Hulu and it’s as good as the quotes make it seem.
