Every sport has its share of stupid calls. Just look at the NRL.
After all, its only sport - not many rocket scientists here.

League Specials:

Jason Taylor - with a big piece of snot hanging out his nose during an after game interview.

Mal Meninga's - f & c words during an origin.

Sam Backo's famous "f" word after an origin.

Every player/coach:

"We are just going to take it one game at a time"

"Yeah the boys really dung deep - it was a huge effort, I'm really proud of the lads"

How many times have we heard that????

Why doesn't someone say:

"Actually, the other team was rubbish, we hardly had to do anything"

"We're thinking about the grandfinal, cause we plan to win every game up to that point"

As for racing - I hate Ron Dufficy's comments - he wraps almost the entire field except 100/1 shots.

"Hard to beat" is the most annoying comment.
Every 2nd horse is hard to beat according to these people.

I also hate when a racecaller is going thru all horses during a race, when all the action is going on upfront - while he's telling us who's last, 3 or 4 horses are challenging for the lead. The focus of a call should be on the front half of a race - rather than going thru the field one by one -just tell us what's happening with the top 8 horses - then say TTK is well back or something. When a backmarker makes a move lets us know, but meanwhile give us a reading of the top 8 horses and how good the speed is etc.
