Football Commentator Puns

Everytime someone is announcing a football game or the like, my dad says something along the lines of,

"He's an ok commentator, but he's no royal spud!"

He then procedes to grin with that self-pleased dad smile.

football commentator says something about a player's NFL debut being today just before I get crushed ice from the in-door ice maker from the fridge

Dad: "Wait I missed that, WHOSE debut is it today? What was his name again? I couldn't hear!" Me, loudly: "Hang on!" points to fridge "Ice maker." Dad: "WOW his name is Ice Maker?! No wonder he's so tough!"

Now, my dad doesn't often do this so I kinda started at him before slowly saying, "No.....his....it's not...." Then he grinned at me as I felt dumb.

Post: 60 matches down, only 4 to go.

Dad: Time to buy a new box then.

Bonus:

Dad: or did I misunderstand?

Other comment: No, he's talking about the football.
