Not annoyed, OG.  It just seems weird.  In any case I tend to tune out what sports commentators say because most of it is drivel.

I find it odd hearing and reading "Different than", rather than "Different from".  The annoying version, which many people here use, is the nonsensical "Different to".  

I'd love to know how the word "Issues" became a replacement for "Problems", too.

One that really, really gets my goat is "alot" for "a lot".  That, I believe, should be a hanging offence. 

Filler words and phrases such as "Let's face it", "At the end of the day" and the all-pervasive "Like" deserve a punch in the face at the very least.

A really strange piece of linguistic garbage over here is "PIN Number".  Personal Identification Number Number.  There are also people who say "Round circle".  I suppose it's useful to distinguish it from a triangular one.  I've even heard "Reverse back", relating to driving, as if there's an option to reverse forward.
