By comparing a guy to Superman, an Announcer is really saying he has to be at one hundred percent on ever single play, or people are going to hate the guy. That's not realistic for anybody, because in reality, no matter how close somebody tries to get, they're not going to be at one hundred percent even part of the time, since one hundred percent is perfect.
Announcers aren't doing a guy a favor by comparing him to Superman, and it sounds a little bit silly to most people over age 5.

An announcer that talks about basketball like it's boxing or something else. Though guys getting knocked out with a basketball would make an interesting sport, they don't have one like that yet, so you're either watching the basketball game everyone else is watching or you're watching a noxing match, because if you're trying to watch both at the same time while announcing one or the other, you're fucking with people's heads that are watching.
The All American announcer was talking about being able to feel that hit from up in his/her booth and how it cleaned out his sinuses, even though it wasn't a football game he was talking about, it was a basketball game.
