For me it's when any announcers makes the statement "you can not make that call at this time of the game."

 

 

Call it as is.

 

The rule book does not say any call can not be made at a particular time of the game.

The team that wants it more will win.

I was listening to a UofL game this season on ESPN radio, and the announcer told the crowd that the other team "literally just dodged a bullet."

 

Holy crap, there's an active shooter at the Game!

It's do or die.

Phil Simms constantly saying "the Football". We know what sport we are watching, Phil. "The ball" will suffice. Others do it as well, mostly in golf.

To built on that, announcers repeatedly saying "National Football League"

"Score the basketball"

"Out with an ankle" (or whatever limb is injured)

Thank you, Al Michaels, for that one.

"Score the basketball"

 

Hey, if a kid is good at scoring the ball, he's good at scoring the ball. Everybody needs to fill their role for this team to reach its potential. It is what it is.

Too much Jim. I need to take this one game at a time.

Play by play is the only way to go. Like chopping wood.
