That was the one I came in to say when seeing the title.This year it is “Line to gain”.
Other notables include: “He made a football move”, “Physicality”,
No, a football move is made up and completely subjectivewhat's wrong with "football move"? isn't that how a catch is defined in the rules?
”I’m Joe Buck and he is the Hall of Famer Troy Aikman.”.Anything Joe Buck or Troy Aikman say.
Anything Joe Buck or Troy Aikman say.
Can you blame him? When you've seen as much yellow laundry as he does with Troy Aikman on MNF you get a little PTSDTouchdown! There are no flags! - every time a long TD is scored with Joe Buck at the mic
Maybe she's trying to tell you somethingMy wife’s favorite is “penetration..”
I find something similar in other sports, notably hockey. A lot of announcers say "this hockey game" or "hockey team". We know what sport it is, but thanks.A minor peeve, mostly said by Collinsworth: “The National Football League”
I don’t hear broadcasters referring to the NBA as “the National Basketball Association” or MLB as “Major League Baseball” during games. It’s “the NBA” or “the majors”. But somehow we have to be reminded what the letters NFL stand for.
Well, to be fair, in today's NFL, that is kind of rareTouchdown! There are no flags! - every time a long TD is scored with Joe Buck at the mic
Me and my two boys have a Schmeat Meter for Collinsworth for how many jocks the dude rides every week. He'll start rolling and one of the boys will say:Nothing specific, but over analysis drives me nuts. Chris Collinsworth is a great example of this. After every play he feels to go into some in depth analysis of this and that. It's exhausting.
Yes! I have noticed this one, totally overused.This year it is “Line to gain”.
Yeah I dunno, I hear a lot of talking heads say "National Football League", not just Collinsworth. But you're right.A minor peeve, mostly said by Collinsworth: “The National Football League”

OMG yes. Room. Building. WTF?The "wide receiver room" the "running back room" - so many rooms.
This. And it's not really closeAnything Joe Buck or Troy Aikman say.
Would you prefer he just say "Hello" without "Friends". Hard to get annoyed by "Hello Friends", unless you have other axes to grind.For me it's not close

I want to punch him in the face every time I hear that

And I've noted this one in the "Phrases...." thread in the FFA, but the phrase-du-jour for this year for anyone covering the NFL is "to your point....". It's everywhere now.

“We’ll step aside” and scarf down on this complimentary food in the booth.Mike Tirico every time a player is injured he sounds like they are preparing last rights for the player
"We'll step out" or "We'll step away" as if he and Collinsworth are going to leave the booth and go...where exactly?

LOL this is so true! watch NFL gameday on NFLN, you don't ever hear Nantz. watch the Masters 10 minutes after it starts to avoid the 'hello friends'.For me it's not close
