Some of y'all complain too much. What are these announcers supposed to say that doesn't piss you off?
just for the sake of novelty I'd like to hear them compare black and white players without saying the white guy is smarter and the black guy is more gifted or athletic

The most overused phrase is "upside."
Someone on the radio the other day said, "I'm not sure what Cam Newton's potential is, but he has tremendous upside." What's the damn difference??
I also hate how football commentators love to say "football" so much. Mark Schlereth will say "this football player is a great addition to this football team." Or "when I look at this football team, I see a heck of a football coach." Dude, we know what sport it is we are watching.

High ____ IQ.
As in "high football IQ". I mean, it is their job, hopefully they are better at it than the average joe.

"Now that's a football play"
Oh, wait, that's the dumbest phrase used.

Sports people, try to have some historical perspective.
It's difficult for most of the sports world to have any sort of historical perspective when they constantly live in the world of "what have you done for me in the last 30 seconds"...
