What sports phrase always gets you?


Beerball

Recommended Posts

Such-and-such team has scored x "unanswered points." Absolutely hate it. What is wrong with saying "x consecutive/straight points" or "the last x points?"

 

The only truly "unanswered" points are points that end a game.

 

Lazy broadcasting.

 

Edit -- after reading the first few replies it looks like I should have put this in the "pet peeves" thread instead.

"He's on the roof looking for his jock."

 

"Boy! Did he get buggy whipped."

 

"Katy bar the door!"

 

Oh... Wait. Those are full blown "Robieisms"...

 

Just keeping it real... :D

I just heard the old Ray Stevens song: The Streak, probably for the first time in 40 years... Is that where NASCAR gets it from?

Steve Busby of the Texas Rangers TV crew sometimes describes a pitch as "he fisted him"

Hawk Harrelson of The Sox has a ton of them...

 

"Catbird seat"

 

"He gone!"

Ever go to a race? What driver did you follow?

He probably followed Junior Johnson. I just looked him up, he's still kicking! ;-)

I hate when football announcers use the (non) word "defensed". The first I remember using this "word" was Troy Aikman, and it seems the norm now. They say, "that pass was well defensed"....the correct word is "defended". Defensed is not a word. Just stop it!
