Instead of saying "Smith rushes for a 4-YARD touchdown," she insists on saying "Smith rushes for a 4-YARDS touchdown" and annoying the hell out of me.

This is hardly a grammar issue. I'm sure she did not mean to say "Smith rushes for a four-yards touchdown." She was caught between saying "Smith rushes for four yards" and "Smith rushes for a four-yard touchdown" and slipped up.
