A new annoying analyst phrase (1 Viewer)

If Matt Millen has said it once tonight, he's said it 10 times - and it's not even halftime. ARRRRRGH

I don't need another "watch his feet" type phrase floating in my head.

/rant

 
how about bob papa and his constant 'the jets are 2-4 on 3rd down conversions of 5-8.22 yards' ... every time. i get it. you know that stat and like it.

 
I thought this was going to be about the now common phrase "that team is running the crap out of the ball"....

I've also heard "Shoot your gun" at least 2x this week.

 
'factor-back' sucks...

`drink the kool aid` was one annoying phrase, for sure..

hearing **** Enberg constantly say 'Oh, MY!' every time a guy completes a measly 4 yard pass..it drives me insane...'Rivers throws to Vincent Jackson...OH MY!!!!!!!!! Jackson reels it in for a 4-yd pick-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'.

like it's the best play he's ever seen in his 40+ years of broadcasting. :thumbdown: :excited:

I always thought Scooter's `HOLY COW!` was just.plain.ridiculous. but that's baseball..

'caught up in the wash', Schlereth phrase describing a LB caught among the blockers, and unable to make a tackle near the LOS but rather 10 yards deep..

'keeps his eyes downfield' - Jaws. if we have to hear that again on MNF... :no:

 
The new massively overused one here on the board is 'rolling with.' Sorry, but your FF team does not constitute a posse or an entourage.

 
this year's nfl gay phrase was and is "Double-move".

last year's was "Pick 6".

in the NBA, last year's was "Blow-by", 2007's was "Screen Roll" (the uber cool way to say the boring 'pick and roll'). still awaiting this year's.

I was so sick of both those guys I turned the sound off. Millan is a worse announcer than he was a GM.

The new basketball term I hate is when they describe a player as having "great length" when referring to wingspan.

You know that's one name for a WR route, right? Complaining about this is like complaining about how they always use the word "shotgun".

yeah, yet it's as if no announcers got wind of that until the 2009 football season , and now they make sure they say it every opportunity that they get. it's their "hip" new insider phrase of '09.
 
No discussion on overused phrases is complete without "Chip on their shoulder". Easily the most overused and meaningless phrase in all of sports.

 
The new, annoying one I've been hearing is "six quick." I've heard it in place of Pick 6 but I suppose it could be used for a quick strike offensive TD.

 
If only these networks would hire ff message boarders instead of ex-players/GMs and folks in industry for their play-by-play and color analyst needs.

Here are three other trite, overused phrases that grate on my nerves: "shot ourselves in the foot", "at the end of the day", and "going forward" used at the end of a sentence (as in, "who has more value going forward?", "greater upside going forward", "what are you thoughts on (insert player name here) going forward?". :moneybag:

Grating the nerves of Cheeseheads is fun though :lmao:
 
"what he brings to the table"

What table? Why the #### is it on a football field? Is it oak, with 4 chairs? A folding table?

award for worst grammar: overused phrase...describing a streak of some nature such as "they've won 10 straight, in a row"
 
The one I hate is when they say "this team should be able to do some things on offense." WTF does that even mean. Unless they don't snap the ball, they are going to do something.

I hate when they say "break the huddle". I mean, it's not like it's so broken that they can't go right back and do it again. :thumbdown:

 
And "under center" drives me nuts. It would be more accurate to say that the QB is "behind the center" or "under the center's ball sack".
