There is nothing America loves more but understands less than the NFL, whose coaches, players, and analysts love jargon. But as Pablo discovered earlier this summer, you should be careful calling out this burgeoning fetish for linguistic complexity.

And how much Spider 2 is actually in your Y-Banana.
