    He's been known to give the old jazz hands on the field from time to time.

    My favourite parts are when he states "no wonder you play de-fence." Then, when squaring up to Rodriguez he revisits his roots and goes "you want it?". Brilliant.

    Why do Americans (and now apparently Tallafornians) pronounce defence that way? It makes it sound like you're disentangling something from a set of railings: "The handlebars of my bike needed shimmying around a little bit before I could get them free, but eventually I de-fenced the thing without too much bother"

    Why can't they speak like us??

    It's the way of the world, people speak different languages, dialects, accents.
    I quite like the sports related 'Americanisms'.

    The most annoying thing that i think is universal in sport -i heard it this weekend at the Irish open- that makes me press mute during golf events is "GET IN THE HOLE!!!!!" STFU get in the hole guy. You have like Darren Clarke teeing off on a 540 yard par 5 and get in the hole guy is screaming. I can't stand it! Shut up! It's not getting in the hole!

    I don't mind golf, but while we're bashing Americanisms, while I already dislike the "U.S.A. U.S.A..." chant, what really annoys me is when Boo Weekley is playing, and the crowd starts shouting "Boo.S.A."

    Grr!

    You have to understand that a lot of sports fans in the US tend to have accumulated a lot more high-impact trauma injuries to the head over the course of their lives. It's unfair to compare them to spectators anywhere else.

    The most annoying thing for me is hearing Irish commentators using English ways of saying Irish names.
    Kay-hill, Kil-bane, More-ran, Carrigger, Galligger, McGraTH, Kins-Ella
    Folding my way into the big money!!!

    I've never heard Irish commentators use any of those, except Cahill. From what I can gather, Tim Cahill's name is pronounced Kay-hill while Gary probably pronounces it the Irish way.

    Really? I've heard them all, except for maybe Mc-GraTH.
    During Setanta coverage of Ireland V England, the commentator said Kay-hill for Gary Cahill.
