I used to hate the incessant "Player XXX is the first player in playoff history to do [enter obscure, silly accomplishment here]".
Now they have expanded this to be:
First player in
modern football history to ...
First player in Super Bowl era to ...
First player since 19XX to ...
First player since NFL/AFL merger to ...
Half the time I don't believe it when they say its the first time something has ever happened as they seem to arbitrarily ignore or discount the early years of the NFL.
