Just thinking as I wait for the Super Bowl. The pre-game gets underway today at 10 AM.
Terms used in sportscasting that I hate with apologies to anybody that I know that might be using them:
Off The Window - say glass or backboard
Charity Stripe- say foul line that’s what it is
Elbow-what elbow?
Helper- say assist
Yes for a made basket- use something else, Marv Albert uses that even though it sounds like he has marbles in his mouth
Sin Bin- say penalty box even though I haven’t heard too many people say sin bin
Paint- say lane
Walk-Off home-run - everybody seems to say it, but I just hate it
Just a few that come to mind and I’ll have more in the future.
