It was Ron Wolfley. I'm guessing he's the classic love him or hate him type, might make for a good poll.http://youtu.be/jVYcaWdI8IY

Starting your sentence with "Look," or "Listen," when trying to make your point. Then using it repeatedly throughout the conversation. Comfort zone filler word to try to make it sound like you really know what you're talking about.
Example: Matthew Berry & Tim Hasselbeck on "FF Now" on Sunday mornings. Every other sentence contain one of these two words. Nauseating.

I like your fourth-grade teacher.
Let's take a step back from trying to apply memorized rules in a robotic way, and just use our native ears for a minute.
Do you feel guilty about something, or do you feel guiltily?
Do you feel beautiful today, or do you feel beautifully?
Do you feel full after your meal, or do you feel fully?
Do you feel triumphant after a big win, or do you feel triumphantly?
I feel bad about people who feel badly.
Using the "ensuing kickoff" during a game.
Ensuing what, nimrod? The reason you use it during a highlight show is to tell the viewer that the kickoff they are watching came after the score you just showed rather than a later score. It doesn't make sense to use it during the game. Of course it's the kickoff that comes after the score they just saw.

I'll take this one a step further and say using "beast" or "beasting" as a verb.

If I am ill or not well then it's perfectly ok for me to say "I'm feeling poorly".

There definitely needs to be more variety...I prefer "barbarian", "warlord", "savage" or "hound".

Jamal Charles is savage this year. What happened to Jimmu Graham last week? He was a total hound the first 6 weeks.

Incredulous
A few years back, this word began making its rounds during any sporting event. It had to have been mentioned in a leadership seminar or something because it was too much of a coincidence that everyone started using it. I still hate when I hear announcers say it.

Maybe it's the context and they're using it wrong, but incredulous is a "normal" English word dating back to the late 1500's.
Talking of words that get made up though, "ginormous" has always bugged me. It sounds like a word a teenage girl made up to describe her crush on Justin Beiber, and I don't think I heard it used until about 5-10 years ago. But no, it goes back to the late 1940's. I don't care, I still hate it.

Didn't know this was just about made up words.
The problem I have is that it's a word that doesn't really need to be used by the people who are using it.
danielmclark
Footballguy
It's not just about made up words. And like I said, maybe it was about the context that you've been hearing it in, because when used correctly, incredulous is a perfectly fine word. I'm not disagreeing with you - it's not the kind of word that should be tossed around because it has a pretty specific use.

when I get ill, my hands get clammy, and its harder for me to have a good sense of feel.
