The word "class". Listen to a game or go on any message board and count how many times a variation of that word is used...class, classy, classless, etc....

"touchdown saving tackle" usually gets me. I understand what they mean in a sense, but I still chuckle because every tackle technically saves a touchdown.

not every tackle saves a touchdown. for example, often a player merely forced out of bounds. if the player would have been tackled before being forced out of bounds, the tackle was not touchdown-saving. also, a sack is a tackle, and not all sacks save touchdowns. furthermore, a solo tackle just prior to an imminent gang tackle is not a touchdown-saving tackle.OHSportsFan9;709206; said:

You know what I really hate... pre-game shows. They're pointless, cliched, and all the same.
"Let me tell YOU the viewer, who isn't playing or coaching in the game, the THREE keys to stop 'XY Team'!"
... Like seriously. Why do they feel the need to "break down the game" for the viewer? Are we sitting at home with a clipboard of plays so that we know what play should be called on 3rd and 7? The "keys for the game" are exactly the same for every team that plays football. Don't turn the ball over, do good on third down, and run the ball. Are the coaches in the locker room watching the pregame show so that they know how to shut down the other team?
Another cliche thing I hate about football is "FOOTBALL IS A WAR. THIS IS NOT A GAME, IT'S GOING TO BE A WAR!". Ok, seriously. Get a grip on reality.

Talking about a player or team getting "untracked", and meaning that in a positive sense. It's completely illiterate. The correct phrase would be "on track", as in "getting back on track".

I was going to say that one. If a train gets untracked, that's a disaster.BrutusBobcat;709454; said:
The other thing I hate, which is not exactly a cliche, but when announcers call a play a reverse when really it's an end-around, and call it a double reverse when really it's a reverse. They really should know better.

Just thought of another good one....
When an announcer is talking about how fast a player is and says "He runs so fast he can literally fly!"

You'd better do that, because the rest of us "really came to play" and it's "going to be a long night" if you don't.

The absolute WORST is by far:
Look at him, "he just loves to play the game" or "he just loves to play football". I'm like, NO KIDDING...he signed up for it right? People say that all the time, usually about Zach Thomas, but yes...they say it about once every other game or so about someone and it drives me absolutely crazy.
