There are some pretty good ones in here but most of the ones that bug the hell out of me come from basketball. There seems to be ones falling from announcers', coaches' and players' mouths just about every other sentence.

“Catching the ball at its highest point”. In other words, they jumped up 20 feet and caught the ball at the apex? Unless, the QB is throwing a line drive, you will never catch the ball at its highest point.
I hate when broadcasters say “strenf” or “lenth” rather than “Strength” and “length”. This is more common in basketball. Just pronounce it correctly.
“He gave 110%”. Not only is it impossible to give over 100%, but why did he only give 10% more than what he is already capable of?
He out ran that ball.
Usually in baseball, but I've heard it said about receivers, too. Not sure it's possible to outrun a hit or thrown ball.
In general I think all refs with microphones talk too much.Referee language: "The previous play is under further review."
No, it isn't under further review. It hasn't been reviewed yet. It's under review.
You should probably take it as, "Most coaches would just white wash the answer to that question but I'll be honest with you..."This is football related only because CMC uses the phrase all the time, but "I'll be honest with you."
I certainly don't think he means it like this, but when you use that phrase, it implies that other things you have said were/are not honest. Almost like he's saying, "Well usually I'd just lie to answer this question, but this time I'll be honest, [gives answer]."
