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.
