Sportscaster catch-phrases
give us some of ur favorite (or even not so favorite) catch phrases used by sportscasters.
these could be play by play announcers, could be sports news anchors, analysts, etc.
example: "Holy Cow" by Harry Caray

Vin Scully. Anything that man has said....ever.
"My oh my!" the late Dave Niehaus. That one is forever ingrained in my conscience watching Griffey Jr.
The two that really piss me off is that Jackass from the MFY, John Sterling. "Thuuuuh Yankees win!" And that tool for the White Sox "he gone!" After a strike out. Fuck you.

Hawk Harrelson is awful. I have a friend who is a die hard White Sox fan and he is embarrassed by the homerisms and generally cringe-inducing catch phrases.

Re: Sportscaster catch-phrases
The catch phrases were fun at friar but by the mid to late 90s that was all the sportscenter guys did. Killed the show for me.

that was the main reason I watched.
what killed the show was when all those guys left and the new guys were boring...along with the emergence of NFL Network, MLB Network, and NBA TV.

Going old school... Jack Brickhouse - "Hey Hey!" and "Wheeeee!"
Listened to him narrate a LOT of Cub losses when I was a kid... As far as I'm concerned, he'll always be the voice behind Chicago sports.

Fun fact: When he first started using that catch phrase he was saying "El Fuego" until one of the Spanish speaking ESPN employees corrected him.monkeyboy32 wrote:I always liked Dan Patrick on sportscemter describing a basketball player as en fuego when he was having a great shooting night
Charley Steiner's laugh was so funny it should qualify as a catch phrase.

How is that a catch phrase? Rip City is a nick name; Portland has been called that since the Drexler days when they weren't wildly mediocre.Rainbow Bright wrote:Rip City.
A catch phrase ( concerning PDX ) would be that one idiot that screams "boooomshakalakaaaaahhhhh" anytime the Blazers would score.

Its older than that. Rip City was uttered by Bill Schonely in 1970 who was doing the play by play. It's stuck ever since.killeverything wrote:How is that a catch phrase?

Pete Arbagasts:"How do you do" after EVERY fucking USC td. I have no idea what it means, but he sounds stupid saying it each week.
Jim Ross's announcing was horrible too, week after weeK:
"It's a pier 6 brawl"(how come it happened on pier 6, and how do you know?)
"Business is about to pick up" which was said EVERY WEEK.
"Hell, fire, and brimstone" for Kane....just awful.
