INbengalfan Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Not a colloquialism, but the overuse of the term "lucrative deal" is cringe to me. Anytime anyone someone refers to an injury as "he/I have a hamstring/ankle/etc" has always bothered me. Mostly because I already have two of them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all 'lucrative' deals, it's the NFL "He's out with a groin." .........finish the sentence, or?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhorse Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 "Facing live bullets". Just stop.......facing live bullets is an entirely different experience than a game of officiated football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjab360 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Intangibles. The go to when an analyst is feeling lazy and doesn't want to or doesn't know how to go into detail smh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 "Went up to catch the ball at its highest point"- the Ball will follow a parabolic trajectory, the highest point will be something like 15 feet int the air midway between the release point and the catch point, no one catches it there. What you want is to catch the ball at the highest point *of your jump*, but you're basically catching the ball at the lowest point it's had since shortly after it left the quarterback's hand no matter how you catch it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He has moxie and plays with passion" I hate that. Sure, there a very select few who are only in the game for money but damn near every professional player has drive, moxie, passion, and any other word like it. That's part of the reason why their pros in the first place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
childofpudding Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Not football-specific but I hate hearing that someone "gave 110%" Also dislike "the best ability is availability," because while it is extremely important, it's not even close to the most important One I like is "Do your job" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 You guys are a tough crowd, lol. I hate “[insert CB here] shuts down half the field”. There’s no single player doing remotely close to that. Even Sherman in that Cover 3 wasn’t shutting down a third of the field (although came a little close vs Rodgers). Just say that they lock up the other team’s receiver, that’s enough.

It's just more notable that lopsided offensive heavy teams end up dissapointing in the playoffs. Balance wins championships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Johnson Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Any colloquialism that was associated with Hines Ward is my least favorite. Building off that "keep your head on a swivel", which is now not really used, probably was my least favorite colloquialism of all time. The idea that defenders are taught to have 360 awareness while pursuing the ball was always absurd, even when blindside blocks were legal, it would have just sufficed to say "that's unfortunate" instead of suggesting the defender is taught to do something that is physically impossible.
