every single green side bunker shot being “lucky if he gets it inside 10 feet”
When I was a kid “left to right putt” meant a double break, it starts breaking left, then turns right at the end. Now is means that it breaks right but the announcer wants to use more words to describe it. Drives me crazy. “3 foot putt for par, this one is going to break left to right”.

Come on, let’s go, the ecstatic celebration statement. Never know where they are going.

99% of the population thinks irony means coincidence or bad luck.
The one I hate is “let’s go!!” which is said by EVERY player of every sport at every level. And of course, “literally” is also my least favorite.

Sports phrases/cliches that you are tired of
When they name a position and then use the word "position" right after.
ex He's gonna be great at the quarterback position.
When words that shouldn't be pluralized are pluralized.
ex CFB is good when the elite teams are the Notre Dame's, the Penn State's, the USC's.

Any variation of the word scheme - schematics, schematically, etc. People use it to sound like they know something about Xs/Os but it's just as hollow of a term as anything else.
Whenever someone says a team plays better/worse than their record shows. Doesn't mean jack shite... a team's record decides everything.
Lastly, literally anything Mike Breen says. Dude is a walking cliche.

Tempo used to describe a hurry up offense
"_______ is going tempo here"
Tempo is the rate (or speed) of action.
meaning technically, Les Miles ran "tempo". Just really fricking slow "tempo".

References to David and Goliath. It’s always used in reference to a small team barely beating a big one. It should be used when the small team annihilates the big one.

“In space”
Yeah there are a lot of phrases like "making plays in space" or whatever that have probably always been around in small doses and make sense as understood terms or good descriptors, but they nonetheless seem to come in waves. Such that it's a trendy way to speak for a few months then it dies off for a while before coming back again.
"Missing bats" might be another. It's a well-understood baseball term, but it seems like sportswriters/broadcasters are just easily influenced by phrasing from others so all the sudden you'll hear a phrase 9 times in two games after rarely hearing it from the booth in a month.
I caveat all this to say that sometimes it just gets stuck in your ear so you're more aware of it, but I think usually it's for a reason (sudden uptick in usage).

Anytime someone says a pitcher has “good stuff,” it means they suck right now.

The Mavericks could be contenders if they added another “piece” to the lineup.
This QB is good but needs more “weapons” to win in the playoffs.

“Simple pitch and catch”
It was mentioned already but I want to reiterate my hatred for the “dial up the blitz”. No one dials up a zone coverage
