plus hes talking sports, its not like hes gonna need a word like "Surreptitious"
to use to talk about sportshell he probably will have directors who will tell him to quit it. As not to confuse the audience if he did.
this is such a trivial nitpick
He doesn't have a small vocabulary at all.I swear it seem like he be recycling the same 14 words over and over again. If he say pontificate one more time...![]()

Four decades, if you live in DC and PhillyMan been on TV going on two decades now, of course his vocabulary will sound the same after awhile.
That + he knows he's a character. He uses his key words/phrases on purpose. It's his brand.

Dude has a high vocabulary. Literally one of the few dude on tvs whose actually increased my mental thesaurus.

Stephen A Is a lot of things(annoyingly) but limited vocabulary ain’t one of them.
