    The newssiders who at 10:30 p.m. on Election Night are soooo worn out. Longest day ever.
    People who think the pinnacle of the business is anchoring SportsCenter. (It's not, mom.)
    Writers who address coaches as "coach." You're not my coach and never was, so I'm calling you Paul.

    Overtime. As in the game going to overtime, though the other form of overtime would fit as well.

    Cliches (gridders, grid tilt, signal caller, field general, hitting paydirt), football/war references (bomb, aerial attack), football redundancies (quarterback sack, defensive secondary) and coaches' quotes (typically from high school games) that provide no insight ("These kids are really working hard," "I couldn't be prouder of a group of kids than I am tonight").

    Careful. Certain people may say that you don't have a clue.

    Baron on these threads always reminds me of this saying:

    Probably the biggest thing that bugs sports journalists is sports.

    And back to the topic ... bugs.

    Seriously. There are some ballfields that just attract bugs. Keeping a can of bug spray is part of the equipment.
