That 1 Guy reminds us that Smiling Dynamite was looking for "unusual" football phrases.

I think the one I miss the most when I watch games today is "jailbreak." Does anyone else remember when there was a massive rush of players towards the ball that it was described as a jailbreak? You just don't hear that one any more.

And while I'm on the topic, where are they finding these moron announcers these days? When a flag is dropped, the location nearly ALWAYS will tell you what the penalty is. But with the exception of the Sunday night guys, no announcer seems to know!

For example, when a flag is thrown and the play is called dead just as, or before the ball is snapped, the offense moved and it's a false start. The only time there's an exception to that is if the defense made contact with the offensive players. Yet the announcers sit back and say, "Oh, there's a flag. Let's wait and see what that is."

And yes, I could do a better job than a lot of those people...of course I'm usually watching the Dolphins who get the... well... not the first string announcers, I'm sure...
