Please stop doing this, part two

The only thing that drives me more insane than people using 'loose' when then mean 'lose' is misuse of the word 'literally.'

The worst offenders are most often television sports announcers.

A few years ago I heard a football announcer say this:

"Eddie George literally lifted his entire team up on his shoulders and carried them to victory!"


His entire team? He lifted 53 people on his shoulders? Wow, you would think that NFL Films would have footage of that.
