1) Bears punter Devin Hester died at some point during the 2010 season. Bears head coach Lovie Smith used unholy rituals to bind his spirit to this earth, in order to force him to act as a ghostly punt returner for the team. This can sometimes unnerve opposing punters. (“It’s got to be tough for [the Green Bay punter], with the spectre of Devin Hester downfield waiting for him.”)
2) Lions quarterback Shaun Hill makes a terrible mattress. (“You should never sleep on Shaun Hill, I’ll tell you that.”)
3) The injuries to Seahawks quarterback make it very difficult for him to insert a football into his rectum at the current time. (“He’s having trouble opening up his hips and really driving through that football.”)
4) Rams running back Stephen Jackson is a compulsive masturbator, but one with impressive stamina. (“I just gotta touch it 25-30 times a game.”)
There is a school of geekdom that shows no interest in professional sports. To them, I say, there is nothing quite like a group of men having to speak extemporaneously for several hours using terminology that can quite easily be taken wrongly. 🙂

One of my favorites is when an announcer keeps using a particular polysyllabic word to the point that it’s nauseating. We get it; you have a word-a-day calendar and today’s word happens to be capable of relating to a football game. Please get a thesaurus to go along with the calendar.
Oh, in Canada, on the good ole CBC we happen to have Bob Cole. Oh god Bob Cole.
To borrow a quote from the good Dr. Gonzo, “The only thing a professional sportswriter needs is a thesaurus to keep from using the word “jackhammered” twice in the same paragraph.”
