Oh Lord. Could I get going on this one.

Though it will be hard this year, since I haven't watched many games. Let me think on this one a bit :p

OK, I have a few for you. They are all irritating for the same reason. I know absolutely NOTHING about football, and if a comment seemed obvious to me, it probably did not add anything to the announcing of the game.

1. He/they need to take it one game at a time. This is right up there with They need to focus. Thank you Captain Obvious. Paying attention is generally performance-enhancing whether you are driving a car, performing open heart surgery, or trying to win the SuperBowl.

2. They can't keep making mistakes/turnovers.... Again, if you are competing to win, it is probably not a great idea to keep screwing up.

3. It's decision time... when was the last time a team explicitly decided to lose?

Ummmmm...........all of this and last year? Democrat/*adults-are-in-charge-now* Congress.

But that could just be me and my decidedly jaded opinion.
