Football as an adjective to describe something going on during an actual football game.

"Football ___________" (move, game, play, intelligence)

We get it...we're watching a football game...no one is going to think you're talking about anything else if you drop the adjective.

you've never heard that in a baseball game? I think Chip Caray makes a point to say it as much as possible. usually something like this, " Chipper fisted a ball up the middle last time up."

Kinchen should be fired..."it's kind of gay"

"physicality" is terrible...just say "physical"

Comparing football to "war" and saying "weapons" is terrible

Gruden just thinks everyone is "the best" or "a pro bowler"...too much ...he won't criticize

"upside"

"aggressiveness"

A teams "identity"

"running downhill"

"gunslinger" really means careless, overrated, throws picks

To be fair, "football move" is in the rule book.

dial up a play. Is this a old phone with a rotary dial?

and giving some one love? Love is so out of place here. Saying they respect them yes but love is stupid

I hate Musberger and hate him even worse when he opens every game saying, "YOU'RE LOOKING LIVE AT...."

Thanks for the clarification a-hole. I actually thought going in to this game it was tape delayed. So glad you cleared that up for me.

When a guy goes off left tackle and Musberger declares, "it's a foot race!"

And while we are at it...the phrase "dialed up" has run its course...

"Rob Ryan dialed up a blitz to confuse Eli Manning"

etc...

For me, its "trickeration." Where did this come from? It's not a word. Just say "trickery."

"He's managing the game"

"Taking what the defense gives him"

frick you!!

That's CFB tradition...and I love it - it brings me back to the time of watching as a kid in the mid-80's...and he's an institution, shite, he called the Flutie game.

You spoiled brat. Reminds of all the shiteheads crapping on Keith Jackson on here because he didn't slobber over the SEC.

Hit a nerve?

Musberger is probably the most irritating football announcer calling games currently. Sorry if that offends you, but he just is.
