Did you get any sports terminology confused growing up?

I used to say “free-pointers” and “three-throws” growing up instead of “free-throws” and “three-pointers”. I would screw up the basketball terminology all the time.

We used to call kids like you "special".

The five times I got a hole in one I instinctively yelled “nothing but net!” every time.
It was quite embarrassing.

I can usually pick up the rules for sports just by watching it but cricket confuses the hell out of me.

I feel like announcers vary on shuffle/shovel/shuttle pass.

Did you get out of school a little bit earlier than most kids every day?

Contain is a verb. I never understood why the meatheads on tv always talked about breaking contain, when containment is right there. Remember, all these guys went to college.

Also, more on the subject, I was probably twelve before I knew which was a wrist and which was an ankle.

shovel pass vs shuffle pass (a dinosaur play nowadays)
0, 1, 2 technique (alignment o Dline to Oline), confused 1 and 2. 0 was clear.
Karaoke (Footwork drill), was certain that was not the right word for it...but it was
Early days...flag and post routes (backwards)
Blocking down (towards ball)

Larry Munson used to always say “giving x a blow” when he called basketball. Never stopped cracking me up just bc he did it so often.

What a weird and specific question

We used to laugh at the dorks that said "spiro" or "beam ball"

No because we're not stupid.

When I was a kid, I would hear the announcers say “that ball took an Oilers bounce” or “a cowboys bounce”...And I thought there was a different type of bounce for every team.
They sure all looked the same though.

I didn't follow NFL or NFL divisions until late teens. I was about 16 when I found out that the Seattle Seahawks didn't have an in-state rival team via the Washington Redskins.

When we played smear the qu!?r..I was also confused as to whether I was gay for that brief period I was it and whether I was doing it right.
