Carlson developed a few strange “catchphrases” during his commentary of NFL highlights broadcast during gaps in the live game, including a list of alternative names for stadia and teams e.g. Arizona Crads (half-Card, half crap), Newark Airport Jets & New Jersey Giants, “he couldn’t be more alone if he was…” for touchdowns scored by players with nobody around them, with the punchline usually involving a celebrity or famous figure that has been caught with their trousers down, to making special note of anyone involved named “Nate”, the name of his son. He often refers to player Torry Holt as “The Torry You Can Support” – a jibe at the Conservative Party’s recent misfortunes in UK politics (they are known as the Tories). He also refers to Reggie Bush as “The Bush you can support” – a jibe at George W. Bush. Another common catchphrase is “and that pass was high, but not in the Ricky Williams sense,” referring to the player’s use of marijuana. He developed a fictional award named “Trent of the Week” for the best player in the week’s games named Trent. Some of Carlson’s more elaborate comedic moments involved complex re-wordings of The Raven during a rough patch for the Baltimore Ravens, and singing a re- lyricised version of John Brown’s Body entitled Jeff George Is Marching On – to a particularly miserable Dallas Cowboys performance, which included noted quarterback bust Ryan Leaf.
