1) Referring to the point halfway between the goal line and the one yard line as the "six-inch line." Uh guys, it's the eighteen-inch line.
2) Referring to injuries by the body part instead of the injury. For example, saying that a QB went down "with a knee," or "with an ankle." An ankle what?? Sprain? Break? Twist?
3) Any ground-level camera angle on live action. Leave the artsy fartsy shit for instant replay; when it's live, I want to see the field. They're especially bad about this on kickoffs and punts.

more as they come to me......
