Beerball Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I'm not a big horse racing fan, only been to the track once, but I do try to watch the triple crown races. Anyhoo...Dave Johnson's "& down the stretch they come!" would give me chills every time. Got one?

eball Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited May 17, 2015 by eball

CowgirlsFan Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Steve Busby of the Texas Rangers TV crew sometimes describes a pitch as "he fisted him"
Howard Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I like it when the announcer says "gentlemen, start your motors". Been watching races for years and that always gets me going.

Buftex Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 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!
