Also, another new verbal pet peeve is the use of the phrase "put his foot in the ground" whenever a player, usually an RB, makes a decisive cut. Unless he's Jesus, he's putting his foot in the ground all the damn time.

I'll got out on a limb and say they imply that there's a difference between putting your foot "in" the ground and putting your foot "on" the ground. Putting your foot "in" the ground implies breaking the grounds surface to dig in to make the cut, as opposed to simply running on top of the surface of the ground. Just a guess...

People that aren't sports fans that use the "word" 'sportsball' when talking about any sport. I get it, you don't like sports, but I know you know the name of the sport so stop talking like a douchebag 5 year old with your phrasing and not witty jabs and talk like an adult.

I have to say I have never heard that reference before. Interesting.

Then again, I tend not to converse with adults that act like 5 year olds.

I hear it all the time, mostly from people that are heavily into tech and/or think e-sports (LOL) is more of a real sport than football/basketball/etc. I also hear it a lot from my industry corner. It drives me absolutely nuts. Right up there with people who feel the need to disparage soccer compared to other sports. You're not a fan? Cool. Oh, now you're going to make it known just how much you don't like it and tell me I'm an idiot for liking it? Go fuck yourself.
