    My wife and I always get a kick out of it when sports commentators say things that are just stupidly obvious. I think the best one so far was “if you want to win you gotta win.”

    I think that was Joe Buck during a Jets game but I’m not positive.

      My favourite are the overly specific records. “Joe Bob has recently broke the record for most points in the first game after a knee surgery with 4 points. The last record holder was John Jock who scored 3 points after a knee surgery in 1987.”

      I love the variations of “you’ve got to score goals if you want to win the game”.

      Also in football/soccer when a player scores a goal despite the keeper getting a hand to the ball; “the keeper has made a mistake there, he really needs to keep the ball out”.
