Esteemed Announcer Dick Enberg Discusses “Bloody Blue Balls” At Wimbledon

by Dan Fogarty | 10:45 am, June 22nd, 2011

There’s nothing like a universally respected titan of broadcasting discussing blue balls at a notoriously stuffy tennis tournament.

Dick Enberg‘s ESPN Tennis contract is ending, and after he calls his 28th Wimbledon, he’ll go back to the city he loves to become the San Diego Padres local announcer. But before Dick leaves the All England Club, possibly for good, he held court on a discussion about yellow balls, white balls… and blue balls.

His broadcast partner, Chris Evert, chose to “leave that one alone.” We, on the other hand, enjoy this sort of thing, and couldn’t be more grateful to Mr. Enberg for leaving us with one last accidental gem before he exits the Wimbledon booth forever.

Arash Markazi Those asking me to explain Bynum's comments are asking me to do something his coaches and teammates have yet to do.

Myles Brown Fitting that Kobe is dressed for a funeral.

Bomani Jones sorry, but i find ron ron's affection for queensbridge endearing. truth be told, qb's produced a lot of world-class talent.

Zach Harper Kobe has that "I just murdered my entire team and you guys have no idea yet" grin to his speech right now.

Zach Harper Wow. MarShon Brooks really IS the next Kobe RT @uuords: < 5 minutes left and the game within one possession, Kobe is 1-8 in 9 playoff games.
