I've been assigned the choice of drinking game for next weekend's SNF party.  The game thread made a great suggestion about Announcer Bingo, and I'm going with it.  So what are the phrases that should go on the cards?  Dumb filler remarks preferred, but anything common will do.  Help me out here, I need at least 24.
 
  1. You almost get the feeling
  2. Run the football (i.e., specifically and unnecessarily adding "the football", as if there were lots of other balls)
  3. Pass the football
  4. It is what it is
  5. Ground and pound
  6. Boom!
  7. Hit the hole
  8. Hit him in the numbers
  9. Brings a new dimension
  10. Read-option
etc.

"The National Football League" instead of "The NFL"
 
Any of the white guy superlatives -- gritty, crafty, scrappy, hard-nosed, blue collar, deceptive speed, etc
 
A sideline reporter asking "what was going through your mind when...?"

This is for SNF right? So Michaels and Collinsworth. Gonna have to think on this one for a bit but I know they have their specific go to phrases.

Drink when they mention their production meeting.

Excessive praise for which the players is undeserving.  
 
Warning: May be fatal when combined with Jon Gruden.

"They're gonna call that every time in today's NFL." In response to any 50/50 ticky-tack call (likely to be Brandon Browner for hands to the face/holding/illegal contact).

Crafty (and wiley) are more old-guy superlatives than white guy.  Veterans become crafty when they lose their speed and/or strength.

Replay challenges are good for cliches:
 
"indisputable visual evidence"
"not enough to overturn"

Al subtly mentions the spread
 
Michelle Tafoya tries really hard to make it sound like Bill gave her more than a three word answer before the half
 
The game ends up sucking even though Chris promised it wouldn't

Every time the word "intangibles" is used to describe something entirely tangible.

As in "He has that elusiveness to extend plays. Those kind of intangibles are what makes him great."
