I don't mind them getting excited if there's a big play.But every play is like crazy to them.I guess I'm going to watch home alone tonight

Physicality is a proper, recognized English word, and all that, but I lived over seventy years without hearing or using it.
I may be wrong, but I think the talking heads could find a boatload of other words that convey the same thing and give physicality a rest.
