I wonder if the NFL instructed announcers to stop using it thinking the term coffin may be a bit too morbid though I do remember them instructing announcers to stop referring to the tablets coaches use as iPads since they were all Microsoft devices. But yea any tablet I just automatically refer to it as an iPad myself

I hate the following:
"had to settle for the field goal."
like it's taken for granted that there is nothing to it!

Anytime Joe Theismann is announcing a game and a receiver misses coming up with a pass that is anywhere near his hands; Joe will invariably declaim "Oh! (Name of player) has GOTTA catch that ball!"

It was actually used in a TMZ article today about a football player.

I always laugh when an announcer says a team "drove the length of the field." Good thing, because if they drove the width of the field, they would just go out of bounds.
Another defunct expression is "in the open field." It's now "in space."

First, rushing is an essential part of the game and it’s expected, so you don’t need to establish it. Second, the inevitable idea that you run so you can pass has been disproven by Pro Football Outsiders relative to the modern game: most rushing yards now come late in the game by the team that’s ahead, to use up the remaining game time.
You are incorrect sir according to Jason Witten it is eggstablish the run.

"He put his foot in the ground" is pretty bad.
