COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Before Tom Llamas took over as anchor of NBC Nightly News, he took a visit to NBC4. Llamas made Columbus one of several stops in the weeks after he was announced to replace Lester Holt, who stepped down Friday after nearly 10 years to focus on his role with Dateline. That leaves Llamas the face of a program that viewers have trusted across six decades.

I've edited sports copy for decades, and in no way is listing peeves, no matter how correct the concepts behind them may or may not be, a way to coach better storytelling. And getting that out of sportswriters is always the goal, not restricting vocabulary.

A team losing a game is not a "disaster." Home runs are homers, not "dingers," "jacks" or "bombs." A player scored 10 straight points, not 10 "unanswered" points. If a football team scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn't come back, say it "never trailed" rather than
