Top Five things you don’t want to hear as a Football Fan.

5) "On the first play of the game, (your star Fantasy Football QB or RB) went down with a severe leg injury. It looks like he’ll be out for the season."

4) "It looks like they’re going for it on 4th down with 30 seconds left in the game down by 4, 5 yards away from the endzone. He takes the snap, drops back, looks left, AND HE’S SACKED BEHIND THE LINE!"

3) "The kick is up and it’s NO GOOD! Just wide to the left!"

2) " WOW What a spectacular 85 yard TD pass and catch, that will go down in the history books...wait a minute hold the phone looks like theres a flag down... HOLDING NUMBER 77 ON THE OFFENSE. Oh well, looks like this one’s comin back.’

1) "That’s the game folks, (Your team) loses..."

'factor back'

-Hodge

'you're down 38-0, what do you have to do in the second half to get your team back in the game?'

Tafoya

"ANNNNNNN there's an A-Bomb, by AAAAAAy-RODDDDDD.....

RRRRRobinson CANNNNNNO, NNN-don't you KNOWWWWWW!!!!!!!'

'the melk man delivered'



-Sterling, absolutely , hands down, the single worst sports announcer of all time...( and no, I'm not a Mets or Red Sox Fan)

Yes, as a football fan, this bothers me!

"Brett Favre is what makes that play happen".."Brett Favre.....Brett Favre...Brett Favre"

-Madden

Hate to hear anything Theismann says

 

[cheatsheetwarroom]

"Back when I played....."

-Chris 'The White Grace Jones' Collinsworth

"Looks like they're going to take a knee" (When you need half of a point)

Anything having to do with a player's personal life during the game

Any type of country music before the game or at halftime, especially country songs that are changed to reference the game in question.

 

[FUBAR]

Any type of country music before the game or at halftime, especially country songs that are changed to reference the game in question.

but even that's better than "Here's Joey Harrington playing the Piano..."

 

[Andy Herron]

"They're picking up the flag."

 

[Andy Herron]

"The play clock is down to____, they're going to have to call a time out."

 

[Rodhands]

as an englishman who plays american football the single worst thing to hear is

" Football is just a game for wussies... real men play rugby"

 

[eric rymer]

Any type of country music before the game or at halftime, especially country songs that are changed to reference the game in question.

but even that's better than "Here's Joey Harrington playing the Piano..."

that was just painful to watch. :X

Hate to hear anything Theismann says

I can't stand that guy.I personally can't stand to listen to Bill Walton (yeah I know it's basketball) or Tony Kornheiser...painfull. I'd rather not even watch the game....ok well maybe on Mute

 

[JaxBill]

"And Joe SuchAndSuch hasn't missed an extra point in 72 attempts..."

My other pet peeve is "Joe Runningback is walking gingerly off the field. Looks like he has an ankle"

Um, he's got TWO ankles, but right now one of them looks injured.

 

[Polyethylene Bag]

Any type of country music before the game or at halftime, especially country songs that are changed to reference the game in question.

but even that's better than "Here's Joey Harrington playing the Piano..."

Which is even better than the Grammatica brothers performing a pan flute duo....

 

[Polyethylene Bag]

Honestly, the thing that annoys me the most is how announcers throw around the team's record when their RB gets 100 yds rushing. Stupidest stat ever and they use it all the time.

 

[GregR_2]

5) The 25% hike in ticket prices for the brand new, publicly funded stadium, will go into effect immediately.

4) Is it me, or does that cheerleader you've been ogling have an adam's apple?

3) Please welcome our new GM and the man responsible for turning around our beloved franchise, Matt Millen!

2) And with that Super Bowl win, we've reached the end of another season of NFL football. 5 months left until training camps open next season. Stay tuned next for "Baseball Tonight".

1) Our lead story... the owners met today in Hawaii to vote to lock out the players for the upcoming season...

 

[Pictus Cat]

Plane crash with team on it.

Westbrook downs it on the one (torn, good football play.)

Criminals not going to jail.

Non-superbowl comercials.

QB avoids the sack.

This is the most painful. Followed by, "the Super Bowl teams are set. See everyone in two weeks for the Championship game!?!?!"2 WEEKS?!?!? Get rid of that off week....

A couple more:

Watchis feet

"Watch the amazing spin move Reggie Bush puts on here to get an extra 4 yards," on Sportscenter but Reggie finished with a 2.4 YPC and 40 yards but he's got a highlight on SC.

Any time I hear Peyton Manning's voice and it's not barking out plays. Did you hear about the commercial that Peyton Manning turned down? Neither did I.

 

[sholditch]

...And Grossman drops back to pass

:shudder:

 

[Stinkin Ref]

player X should should be playing a little harder today as he is ________________________

fill in blank with

1. going up against his old team

2. going up against a team that passed up on him in the draft

3. playing for a new contartct

4. playing with a heavy heart

5. etc, etc

they should be bringing it every game with the kind of money they make.....and becuase they are competitors.....playing hard should not be something you turn on or off based on other factors.......

 

[:ptts:]

I don't even know where to begin

 

[thejag]

"Uh-oh, looks like they're going to review that one..."

"There's a hold on every play in the NFL..."

"Coming up: Boomer talks for 10 straight minutes about nothing!"

"He doesn't compare with the Brady's, the Favre's or the Peyton Manning's of the league"--last I checked, there was only one of each of these guys.

"Contractual obligations will not allow us to show you the end of this thrilling 35-34 game. Let's go now to the kickoff of the Miami-Detroit game."

 

[VTjkru]

As a Packer fan, I hated hearing about Favre's streak before each game. Every game, I thought this was the game. The more they would talk about it the more Theismanesque I saw the injury.

 

[B Maverick]

"Contractual obligations will not allow us to show you the end of this thrilling 35-34 game. Let's go now to the kickoff of the Miami-Detroit game." Movie of the Week, HEIDI, now in technicolor

 

[Thorpe]

Play by Play guy: <<plug stupid sit-com>>

Color guy: "That show is hilarious"

 

[ICON211]

"and now we'll throw it back to Chris Berman"

 

[obxlegends]

I don't even know where to begin

Classic.

 

[switz]

1. false start before the snap

2. and there's a reverse (when it's an end around)

3. false start before the snap

4. and there's a reverse (when it's an end around

5. false start before the snap

I can't decide which of the two are the worst comment by the announcer

 

[elpasotexan]

In any interview, "It is what it is".

The biggest nonstatement ever.

 

[Sweet Love]

I just want to know why only a QB can have "moxie"...why can't a chubby LG have moxie? Jared Loretzen would be set either way...

 

[zamboni]

"We just have to execute better on offense (defense)"

"We have to control the line of scrimmage."

So that's the secret.

 

[JayJay328]

1. false start before the snap

2. and there's a reverse (when it's an end around) 3. false start before the snap

4. and there's a reverse (when it's an end around

5. false start before the snap

I can't decide which of the two are the worst comment by the announcer

This is the worst by far.

 

[TheFanatic]

"Contractual obligations will not allow us to show you the end of this thrilling 35-34 game. Let's go now to the kickoff of the Miami-Detroit game."

This may be the best!!!

 

[KCC]

"It looks like [your fantasy defense] will be playing a prevent defense until the clock runs out."

 

[fatness]

"A contract is a contract and a player has to honor it."

 

[mad sweeney]

Is it just me or...?

Am I the only one...?

Call me crazy...

Does anyone else think...?

Huge #1 Prior to the snap, false start (which by definition is illegal movement prior to the snap)

 

[css2373]

A guy refering to another guy as a "stud"...please stop.

 

[pinequick]

(When read out loud...)

"Have a great season, guy."

 

[thejag]

"Great play by the defensive back there...uh oh, here comes a late flag in the secondary"

"The receiver pushed off there, but they rarely make that call."

"The genius of (fill in coach, but esp. Shanahan)"

"Big uglies"

"Tonight on FOXSports, don't miss World Series Game 1, New York Yankees vs. anyone" -- haven't heard this in a long time!

 

[JPeso]

Play by Play guy: <<plug stupid sit-com>>Color guy: "That show is hilarious"

Aikman and Joe Buck all the way.

 

[rzrback77]

The news that Fox has just hired Michael Strahan to join the host, Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long in the pre-game show. Nothing against Strahan, but why can't somebody decide that two are enough?

I hope that they never decide to have four in the booth to call the games.

 

[CD Dragon]

I lose all respect for the player in an interview, who is currently holding out, when asked why the hold-out ?

he replies, " I gotta feed my family"

I figure 4 million a yr is a good start at the buffet. but i guess where they live, 5.7 million a yr barely covers the check!

 

[sholditch]

that's just player-speak for "I gotta be able to blow 30k on champagne and make it rain at the local strip club."

 

[DoubleG]

"Looks like near-blizzard conditions in Foxboro and Cleveland this weekend.."

Oh, no wait, I was playing agianst Moss and Brady, and Braylon Edwards that day. I love that ####.

 

[TheFanatic]

"Looks like near-blizzard conditions in Foxboro and Cleveland this weekend.."Oh, no wait, I was playing agianst Moss and Brady, and Braylon Edwards that day. I love that ####.

What's wrong with that? I LOVE that even if my guys are playing. Snow football to me, is the best to watch. Then again I love ugly football....

 

[Hoss_Cartwright]

In any interview, "It is what it is".The biggest nonstatement ever.

.....or footballguys saying "just sayin'" at the end of their posts......or anyone who uses the word like in every sentence. .....or football playerrs always referring to "getting respect"......or football players thanking God for their success. Don't they know that God doesn't give a s--t about how well they play?.....or beating their chest and pointing to God. .....or celebrating a tackle after giving up 8 yds on 1st and 10......or scripted celebrations. .....someone tell Tony Romo and Ben Roethlisberger that wearing their cap on backwards is out of style

 

[Manster]

1. Emmitt Smith is overrated. not sayin he's the best, but he's top 5, easy.

2. The Cowboys are a bunch of thugs. can you say under a microscope?

3. anything that comes out of mcnabbs' mouth. i just hate his fat face.

4. anything that comes out of theismans' mouth. "when i played, blah, blah, blah......"

5. "he made a football move" lame.

 

[Varmint]

This makes me cry for two reasons...

"Live...from the Aloha State...it's the _ _ _ _ Pro Bowl"

...any guesses?

 

[Varmint]

A guy refering to another guy as a "stud"...please stop.

Or...on the same note....referring to ANY athlete as a "warrior".It belittles those who have fought in conflicts...as REAL "warriors".

 

[sholditch]

You're Robert Edwards?

 

[texasheat]

I hate hearing that someone has decided to quit fantasy football because there are too many knuckleheads in the NFL.

 

[eric rymer]

Or...on the same note....referring to ANY athlete as a "warrior".It belittles those who have fought in conflicts...as REAL "warriors".

good point. I'll add when they call themselves "soldiers" or they are referring to a game as "going to battle or war"

 

[MCguidance]

I hate hearing about Madden's bus. It was interesting 7 years ago. And I hate hearing about Turducken. Though Mike Williams doesn't.
