I left in the Jay Mohr sports blooper bit because, of course, Norm comments with him. Watch for when Norm laughs at a sports play that's not a blooper. It's quite hilarious.

Norm: And now turning again to sports, it's time for Jay Mohr's wacky sports bloopers. Jay!
Jay: Thank you, thanks Norm, you know there's been a lot of nutty stuff goin' on in the sports world lately. So lets just get right to the videotape.
First in football, it's the AFC championship game between the Stealers and the Chargers. Here's a kickoff like you've never seen before. The Stealer's Charley Johnson takes the ball... and he throws it 70 yards back to the kicker's foot! That is crazy!
Alrighty, wooo, now to hockey, the season's only one night old but already we have an incredible blooper for you. Opening night at The Garden, Rangers verses Sabers, check out this action... whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa haha! They're scatting upside down everybody, somebody teach these guys about gravity!
Norm: Aw Jay about these bloopers, they're a-
Jay: Now hold on a minute Norm, you aint seen nothin' yet!
Ok, quickly now to basketball, Scotty Pippin tries to shoot, and wouldn't you know it, the ball freezes to the backboard. Hey Scotty, what'd you do, cover the ball in glue?
Norm: Ok Jay, that's enough.
Jay: Enough?! Come on Norm, you can never get enough of those wacky sports bloopers, they're priceless!
Norm: Now now Jay, these aren't bloopers, you just manipulated the video.
Jay: Aw you're talking crazy. Come on, check this one out.
It's from the US clay court championships and Jim Courier and Gordon Pripich have quite a rally going, yowww... look at those guys, they're flying, where's the fire? Somebody gave those guys super energy pills or something.
Norm: Hey Jay, uh... look I'm sorry, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Bloopers are real events that happened on the field. You're giving sports bloopers a bad name.
Jay: Aw, alright, fine Norm, if that's the way you want it. I think I've got a blooper that's more real. We go to basketball Seattle's Kenmil Gill goes up for a dunk and misses!
Norm: Ahh, hahahahaha... now that's funny.
Jay: Oh, that's not the blooper, keep watching Norm. Seattle gets the ball back, here they are, and... wouldn't you know it, Godzilla attacks the arena! Wow! Put a tent on that circus I've never seen anything like that! That's it Norm with the wacky world of sports.
Norm: Ok, thank you.
Los Angeles rams owner Georgia Foncear announced this week that her football team is moving to St. Louis. The good news for the Rams is, that changing cities, that the ticket sales will increase and more people will pack the stadium. The bad news for the Rams is, they will still suck.
