"He's like a tyrannosaurus rex with hemorrhoids" - talking about Italy's Gattuso.
"Just like a Turkish belly dancer on a surfboard, Ronaldinho skipping through the tulips" - December 2006, Barcelona v Real Sociedad
"Kovalenko for me was outstanding also in his football, not just his gritty performance. He's a footballer; he's got great feet. He's a good link man, a great outlet, he challenges ... he would stab his grandmother in the eye for another bowl of porridge." - on RBNY's Dema Kovalenko
Yes, over the years GolTV announcer Ray Hudson has said some things on the mic that even Das EFX would find confusing. Ever since he left coaching the likes of DC and Miami (R.I.P.) for a blazer and TV studio in Florida he has been filling the airwaves with some of the most twisted & terrific commentary in the country. Rob Stone and Max Bretos could learn a thing or two about how to creatively channel their enthusiasm by studying him. Or they could just learn how to act like a bat-shit old Brit, which is still completely entertaining.
I just learned that there is a blog dedicated to Hudson's quest to "invent a new language in English". What does that even mean?!. It's called Hudsonia and features quotes and audio files of some of Hudson's best/most bizarre work. You have to check it out just for the sheer brilliance of it. I can't believe it took this long for someone to realize the endless goldmine of content their is with this guy as a subject. Prepare to have your mind blown wide the fuck open.

My favorite all-time Ray quote, BY FAR, is the following from a DC press conference (which he would normally attend holding a can of beer, until they made him stop, at which point he would come in burping a lot instead)
"Without penetration, it's just masturbation, and we were playing with ourselves out there."
As you (kind of) asked ...
I've no more words, I cannot express this because you're gonna have to invent a new language in English ...
