Stupid Sports Schtick (1 Viewer)

[nirad3]

Why is ESPN's Mike Breen always "on hand"?

 

[nirad3]

Players screaming "LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" when they're on a run.

I think Tom Brady may have started this? It's reached a schticky level.

 

[simsarge]

One team/player "Wants it more"

 

[ChiefD]

Low center of gravity


Get outta here with that bs.

 

[B Maverick]

"Has that dog in him"

Overused and lost all meaning.

 

[JohnnyU]

"A football move" This is not part of the rules (I don't think), just something announcers made up.

I thought it actually became part of the NFL catch rule because of Julio Jones not getting credit for an obvious touchdown

 

[Cowboysfan8]

Players screaming "LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" when they're on a run.

I can’t take it

 

[HellToupee]

I hate when an announcer says “Dialed it up”

 

[STBootleg]

I'm pretty much done with "exit velocity". I don't care how many mph the ball came off the bat.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

A heater

Is his bag

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

In his bag

Players screaming "LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" when they're on a run.

I can’t take it

The worst part for me is this was a thing what seems like 3 years ago. Not sure how it’s still around.

100x

every tennis tourney my daughter plays in, there's a bunch of punk kids who keep yelling this after every won point.
she hates that stuff.

 

[El Floppo]

Sweeper

sweeper keeper?

 

[JohnnyU]

"Line to gain" became a thing a couple of years ago. I have no idea why that bothers me.

 

[nirad3]

"Red Area" instead of Red Zone. Why?

Also "the paint" in hoops is now "the painted area".

 

[ChiefD]

I'm pretty much done with "exit velocity". I don't care how many mph the ball came off the bat.

Yeah. Hate that one.

That means absolutely nothing. Especially when the guys batting average is .217.

You need to stay away from the Fantasy Sports channel on SiriusXM.

I mean, I'm a total fantasy sports nut but some of the terms/stats these dorks come up with is borderline insanity.

 

[Harry Frogfish]

"He's on one." (a heater)

 

[CletiusMaximus]

This time of year I'm always annoyed by NFL guys talking about all the different Rooms these teams have.

My son started screaming this through his Xbox headset at least 7-8 years ago.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Any sort of injecting ice water in the veins after a 3

 

[nirad3]

This time of year I'm always annoyed by NFL guys talking about all the different Rooms these teams have.

Oh yeah, and bringing players "into the building". Rooms, buildings, what?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

“I want to thank God he wanted us to win today”

Does God not like the other team?

 

[Nipsey]

Another vote for the players/coaches thanking God in the post game interview. It's reached the point of absurdity in college football. We're about 2 years from replacing the cheerleaders with a gospel choir at some of these schools.

 

[arrow1]

Signaling a first down after securing one.

 

[Gally]

Signaling a first down after securing one.

Especially on the first drive on 2nd and 4 from your own 26 yd line

 

[nirad3]

Signaling a first down after securing one.

Especially on the first drive on 2nd and 4 from your own 26 yd line

Or losing 34-14 with 1:36 left in the game.

 

[B Maverick]

Signaling a first down after securing one.

Especially on the first drive on 2nd and 4 from your own 26 yd line

Or your last drive when down 20 and the game is pretty much over.

Heck too many celebrations of a meaningless stat when down big late in the game. Don't get me wrong, I am not anti celebration, just why are we celebrating a sack of the backup qb or a first down when the game is basically over? GET OFF MY LAWN

 

[Ron Swanson]

"Red Area" instead of Red Zone. Why?

Also "the paint" in hoops is now "the painted area".

I would guess this is due to an NFL trademark, like Big Game for Super Bowl.

I gave that some thought... you think the folks that run the Red Zone channel would be that greedy? Are they actually owned by the NFL? If so, that would make sense.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

"Smartest guy in the room". Loved by radio hosts and some of their more avid listeners. Basically projecting themselves as being smarter than "the smartest guy in the room", without realizing the irony.

I heard some commentator wonder why they used red for that area of the field when red is associated with STOP?
I think I've heard some game announcers on the radio use green to describe it. May even be some stations that sell ads based on calling the "X Company Green Zone" as team A looks to score here.

 

[James Bond]

So tired of NFL players running to the end zone on a turnover to preen for the cameras.

"The offense needs to keep the ball for awhile to let their defense rest"

Since they just ran the length of the field to celebrate a turnover.

 

[Zeppelin]

ESPN.

 

[mr. furley]

Low center of gravity

just how i like my women

 

[Jayrod]

Every NBA player yelling "Heyyyyyyyyy!!!!" if a defender breathes on them.

 

[belljr]

Sweeper

sweeper keeper?

No a slider or slurve is now a sweeper

 

[Gally]

Sweeper

No a slider or slurve is now a sweeper

Never understood why they came up with a new name

 

[Jayrod]

I think the official NFL rule states " a move common to the game", but that's off the top of my head.

 

[Snoopy]

"Nothing but green grass" when the game is being played on artificial turf.

 

[zamboni]

Only two types of injuries in the NHL: upper body and lower body.

Decapitation is merely an upper body injury in hockey parlance.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

“is him/her” usually followed by this stupid emoji

 

[jhib]

"score the basketball"

We all know the sport that's being played and the kind of ball they're using to play it. You can just say "score."

Yes. Red Zone channel is owned by the NFL. I think we have plenty of evidence that they are very greedy and aggressively defend IP or what they consider IP.

This has been an issue for a while, but the college game in the past three years has gotten almost to where the coach can’t speak a sentence without thanking his savior and Lord for everything ever.

“First of all, I’d like to thank our Lord and savior Jesus Christ for blessing us today with vocal cords so that we might have this sideline interview!”

The Boise State guy this year made me wonder about separation of church and state and of football and Christianity. In all seriousness, the way these guys talk leaves no room for private conscience. I worry for the players that aren’t quite as on board in the belief structure or the expression thereof. I don’t like it and it almost strikes me as one of the seven deadlies—that of pride and almost false idolatry. God is likely indifferent about the result of your pulling guard. There are deeper emotions and bigger fish to fry, so to speak.

Looking forward to when Atheist University wins their first title.

Their halftime show is an angry Russian exchange student riding in on a carriage and flogging the horse pulling it.
