Another sports phrase to be eliminated

[andrewjackson]

I was working out during lunch today and caught another use of a stupid, nonsensical spots announcer phrase.

"He went up and caught the ball at its highest point".

This is patently false. Good receivers often catch the ball at the receiver's highest point possible but almost never at the ball's highest point. Almost every pass thrown by a quarterback hits its highest point somewhere between the quarterback and the receiver. The ball is almost always coming down when it gets to the receiver. How could he catch the ball at its highest point unless the ball was continuing to travel upward the entire path between the quarterback's hand and the receiver's hands? Physics, people, physics.

"Its" needs to be removed from this phrase and replaced with "his" or modify the entire phrase as "He went up and caught the ball at the highest point possible".
