SIAP and not sure it falls in this category but I almost throw up when any athlete uses the sentence about "I've decided to or I'm taking my talents to...,"

Whenever the word phenomenal is used, don't know why but I despise that word. I also don't like when the former USCw qb says anything (cant think of his name) i feel like he is also trying to communicate via sign language with how he uses his hands.

Any phrase using the word "great" to describe a player or team that is clearly not great. There aren't that many great players or teams in the history of sports, when considering the sheer amout of players and teams that have participated. Every fan, coach, sportscaster and analyst are guilty of substantially overusing the word great.

Brent "Folks you are watching the greatest____________" Lushberger disagrees.

Swagger has become very overused lately since it hit the scene about five years ago.

"Not the fastest or strongest guy but he's a football player"
"He has great instincts"
"You can't teach speed"
"Big Uglies" (Even though I still like this term)
"He needs to get both feet inbounds AND have possession for it to be a catch".. (Wow, didn't know that)
"He has great awareness in the pocket"
"Just throw it up there and he'll go get it"
"Now, did the ball cross the plane? Remember, just the nose of the football has to cross"

There Back...as in FSU or The U are back.
Seems we hear it every year, and maybe once one of them will actually be "back".
