Any mention of God, Jesus or the Good Lord by a player or coach after a game.
For me the exception would be if they say something like "Thank God no one got hurt on that play." If they start thanking God for their win or their play I always wonder what makes them think that God is on their side and against the other side.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldn’t get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
Mostly because many calls get overturned that are disputable.
Can't stand this one. Half the time you know, just by the amount of time it's taking, that they are looking for a reason to overturn it. It's a completely over-used and false explanation of what is really going on.

Anyone else remember that SNL skit where Will Ferrell was being interviewed after competing in a lumberjack contest, and he kept talking about how Jesus helped him win? And then the interviewer asked him why he struggled in a particular event and he said something like, "Yeah, Jesus really blew it on that one." One of those obscure skits that stuck with me for some reason.
