Since this is ostensibly a sports forum, I'll give ya two I find in sports reporting a lot:

"Barry Sanders finally got untracked, rolling for over 200 total yards."

My God, how I hate this. He got on track, not untracked.

"Brett Favre to announce retirement today."

"To" is not a verb. Brett Favre will announce, perhaps, or perhaps you could find an active verb that isn't a form of be.
