I hate the saying "catch the ball at its highest point"

You catch it at YOUR highest point as you jump for the ball. The ball's highest point is halfway between you, the receiver, and the QB

I literally just said pretty much the same thing. You can't catch the ball at it's highest point if the ball is tumbling back towards Earth.

Agreed - "high pointing" the ball is one of the most over

used, absurd, misleading, trendy buzzwords you'll hear tossed around.

Well, in some kind of extremely rare, bizarre case, maybe

it's possible, but it's certainly not what happens 99.999999% of the time announcers use that term.

They should just say "He's really tall" or "he can really go
Oct 3, 2015, 5:44 PM

up and get it", because that's what they really mean. But when everybody and their brother is talking about "high pointing", it becomes monkey-see, monkey-do in the world of broadcasting, brains switched off.
