"This is the city ..." (Sgt. Joe Friday, "Dragnet")

I would have suggested "Just the facts, ma'am" from that show.

How about a sports version?

Marv Albert: "YES"!

Dick Enberg: "Oh My!"

Al Michaels: "Do you believe in Miracles?"

Howard Cosell: "Down goes Frazier, Down goes Frazier!"

Chris Berman: "rumblin', stumblin', bumblin'"

Jim Robson: "usual hello to hospital patients and shut-ins, those who can't get out to hockey games"

Tom Larscheid: "Roll up the rim!" or "Bingo, Bango Bongo, his name is Roberto Luongo"

Peter Maher: "You can put it in the win column!" or "YEAH BABY!"

That one made the list. They also had the slogan from ABC's Wide World of Sports ("The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat").

I know one that will be on there at the end of the week (or at least one that I can't get out of my head right now). "Invented", from the Bud Light commercial "Can't stand these Bills, they suck".

Doesn't the "Here it is, your moment of Zen" line belong to Craig Kilborn?

"Henderson has scored for Canada"! -- I can't remember who the commentator was though.

This'd have to be on the "Canadiana" version, but I'd definitely have Danny Gallivan's "Savardian spinorama" on there, too.

I also remember Ed with "put it out in front!!" and "in the mean time and inbetween time.." Actually, I'm not even sure what the second one is from, but I just remember hearing it while I was a kid.

"In the meantime and in between time" was from Stampede Wrestling. That was awesome watching Ed and Stampede wrestling followed by WWF Maple Leaf Wrestling on Saturday afternoons.

"In the meantime and in between time, that's another edition of Stampede Wrestling!!"

Some of those are sad choices. I'm suprised these didn't make it:

"Tastes great, less filling."
"Wazzup?!?!"

I'm disappointed "boom goes the dynamite" didn't make it.

Ed Whalen's "and they jam away" was pretty cool. I also loved the way he'd mispronounce player's names occasionally. Brian Engblom was "Englebloom."
