This one's not necessarily misunderstood, but is just stupid: "He runs well in space." Well, no shite. Everybody runs well when no one's near them trying to tackle them.

It's misunderstood. By you.

It means he runs well In space when the one or two people that come to tackle him try, he will make them miss.

Same as open-field runner

kind of in the same category of all this...

I hate it when reporters ask athletes, "What does this victory mean to you?"

Drives me crazy.

No shite, dumbass. Who DOESN'T run well in the open field? Getting a runner or pass receiver to the open field is the goal of practically every play. It's like the parody of Madden: "Here's a guy that, when he runs, he goes faster!".
