"Let's go down to Charissa"
"Let's go down to Erin"
"Let's go down to Lisa"
"Let's go down to Melissa"

-it doesn't matter, the end result is they witnessed Player X walked into the medical tent or some needless personal information about one of the players' mom's meatloaf.

Whenever I hear an NFL announcer describe a player as "a beast" I cringe into the fetal position.
YUCK

“_________ baby”

The one thing mentioned in almost every game I have watched this year is a team having the ball inside the two minute warning before the half and getting the second half kickoff. The announcers usually make some comment that they could potentially put the game out of reach with TDs on those possessions.

However, the team with the ball rarely does anything and the OTHER team scores before halftime. Then the team receiving the kickoff has multiple times turned the ball over in the first few plays and the OTHER team is the one putting up back-to-back possessions with points.

I REALLY laugh when it’s the Patriots as the team in position to have back-to-back possessions, and some then there’s some talk about how that was a NE staple for decades. I doubt the Pats have scored on two consecutive possessions this year, and they certainly haven’t done anything before halftime. The broadcast team needs to put that talk out to pasture.

They always used to say that about the Peyton-led Colts also I think, that they (or any team) want to score at the end of the half and then receive the second-half kick. As opposed to just trying to score on every possession, I guess.

I was just talking about this to a friend while watching the games yesterday. Other than any sort of injury update, there is absolutely no need for sideline reporters. For the two brief personal stories they tell in a broadcast? Who cares.

In addition to refusing to simply saying the NFL, these jackalopes - who must be being paid by the word - insist on saying "the quarterback position" or "the wide receiver position" instead of simply saying quarterback or receiver.

This drives me insane.

This drives me insane.

Wouldn’t want to confuse the QB position with QB of the defense.

Anything pencil neck Collingsworth says about Mahomes.

Is it just me or has “complimentary football” become something that is constantly brought up.

Not just you. Apparently this term was made a broadcasting "point of emphasis" in the offseason
