Over used football Cliches

[Reerun_KC]

I was listening to some random sports radio show while I was out on the road the other day. And listening to them made me want to ICE PICK my ears....

They kept saying "at the end of the day" "this guy has the IT factor" "trap game" etc....


What are some of the other over used bullshit clichés you read here or are said over and over and over and over on the sports talk shows/TV?

[ptlyon]

"matriculating our way down the field"

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Keep on' hatin'.

[srvy]

The momentum has shifted.

[TLO]

White guys = scrappy + high motor
Black guys = athletic + talented

[TLO]

Cannon for an arm.

[ptlyon]

I know of one that won't be used anymore.

"First down, Ray Rice"

[Reerun_KC]

rebound game. Over used in all sports...

[TribalElder]

The defense really needs to get a stop here

The offense needs to put some points on the board

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I know of one that won't be used anymore.

"First down, Ray Rice"

Well not unless they televise the game against the prison guards

[Sorce]

Penetration

[Pasta Little Brioni]

What can it hurt to bring him in and check the tires out

[El Jefe]

The defense really needs to get a stop here

The offense needs to put some points on the board

So true, it always makes me say "Thank you captain obvious". Or after someone breaks numerous tackles, the commentators say "You know, a big key to this game is making sure you tackle".

[Reerun_KC]

Here is a good one that is used here....

"there isn't a QB worth a first round pick"

[Pasta Little Brioni]

So in so turd player just HAS to be better than what they have.

[siberian khatru]

Wes Welker-type = any white receiver

[Unsmooth-Moment]

touchdown Broncos.

[stumppy]

He's got to make that catch.

[Discuss Thrower]

Lunch pail kind of guy

[cosmo20002]

We'd be great if we draft a QB in the 1st round.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

If so and so didn't make that tackle he was headed for 6...well no shit

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Oh and you must watch SVP. I want to hang myself or read a De berg thread after listening to all the bullshit they spew.

[Buehler445]

"Big change in field position."

"Field position is so important."

"Winning the field position battle." <--- that one especially makes me LOL. Just fucking LOL.

Almost always there is a big play that negates the punt.

[Sully]

"Need to get penetration"

Often, excepting a ~one-yard pushing of the LOS, the LAST thing a defense wants is penetration. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it's absolutely true.

[GloryDayz]

These guys are role models...

[Direckshun]

Because we are the Chiefs.

[Molitoth]

Todd Haley used to drive me nuts with:

"Across the board"

[tecumseh]

Icing the kicker. Dooes that even work anymore?

[tecumseh]

So and so is a "stop gap" player. Oh, you mean JAG.

[Buehler445]

So and so is a "stop gap" player. Oh, you mean JAG.

Or "motherfucker can't play."

[Buehler445]

"heady play" is another good one.

That translates to "the dude that caught the ball that our dumbfuck quarterback threw to him."

Same goes for "ballhawk."

[Gonzo]

"He's got great athleticism"

No fucking shit? He's a professional football player.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

"Who else are you gonna' get"?

-dumbass announcer discussing Chiefs football prior to contract extension.

[Gonzo]

"Gunslinger"

Fuck you

[Big Poppa Payne]

They have to stop the big play

They need to dominate the line of scrimmage

They have to take care of the football

They have to stick to their game plan

They should throw their game plan out the window

They have to establish their running game

They have to open up the passing lanes

They have to make plays on both sides of the ball

He heard footsteps

That looked like a simple miscommunication

He'd like to have that one back

[Why Not?]

Anything ever said by a coach during a halftime interview

"We gotta find a way to run the ball"

"We need to eliminate turnover"

Etc

[Clyde Frog]

"Patriot Way". Fuck your Patriot way with The Hulks giant, green fist.

[GloryDayz]

"Patriot Way". Fuck your Patriot way with The Hulks giant, green fist.

Is fisting fucking? Penetration of/with anything is now "fucking"? I know I'm old, but I though "fucking" was still sort of limited to/required a dick getting stuck in some part of a woman...

[kcjayhawks5]

Rumbling bumblin stumblin

[kcjayhawks5]

Spider 2 Y banana

[Dave Lane]

All of them.

[lcarus]

"vanilla" in the preseason drives me bananas

[fan4ever]

"The Bigs" . . . heard it first in basketball, made it to football . . .and "They're really high on this guy"

[gblowfish]

Penetration

Everybody drink!!!

Ones that come to mind:

One Game at a Time

Rub Some Dirt on It

Can't make the Club from the Tub.

He's got his second wind.

Nice second effort.

He's got quick feet.

Ones that really bug me:

Pass interference, defense, (plug in Chiefs D back number here) First and goal.

The kick is up....and he missed it (The Brazilian Midget & The Kicker Who Will Remain Nameless)

Anything Shannon Sharpe mumbles.....

[The Franchise]

When giving a player a breather.

They're giving him a blow.

[Rain Man]

Giving 110 percent.

[OldSchool]

"Elite"

[listopencil]

Randomly inserting the word "football" or the phrase 'National Football League" into sentences as if we might suddenly forget that we are watching an NFL game. I don't care about the Giants. The baseball team moved to San Fran decades ago. Stop it.

[gblowfish]

"Put the hammer down."
Stop it.
Just...
Stop.

[Grim]

"Any given Sunday"
overused cliche
overrated movie

[Reerun_KC]

"Put the hammer down."
Stop it.
Just...
Stop.

Put the hammer down, baby!!!!

[Reerun_KC]

Or Kevin Harlans,

Oh baby what a play!

[Buehler445]

"Put the hammer down."
Stop it.
Just...
Stop.

That is soooooo bad. And on the radio broadcast, you can tell that each one of them hates it.

[Reerun_KC]

That is soooooo bad. And on the radio broadcast, you can tell that each one of them hates it.
Mitch just needs to go back and call the game as it happens...

Enough with the forced stupid shit sayings. It sounds so painful listening to him try and make something sound relevant...

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

"Chiefs Kingdom".

Dumbest...

thing...

evar.

[Reerun_KC]

"Chiefs Kingdom".

Dumbest...

thing...

evar.

And you get a flag with your big mac...

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

And you get a flag with your big mac...

yay

[Jimmya]

"Backs against the wall."

[alpha_omega]

"game manager"

[Valiant]

I know of one that won't be used anymore.

"First down, Ray Rice"

He should be playing by the end of the season.

What he did was wrong.

They suspended him once for 2 games knowing what he did. Then the video leaks and its oops, we are suspended you more. He is going to win against the NFL.

[gblowfish]

I love Leon:

[Sorce]

--insert chiefs player-- has a torn achilles.

[Iconic]

SNAP THE FUCKING BALL, BRODIE!

[Discuss Thrower]

"I think offensively we did some good things but we also did some bad things too. Two turnovers with one in the redzone.

Uhh.

Defensively we did great: on third downs we kept them to 3 and... 3 and, gosh you guys probably no better than I [from press pool: 3 and 15] yeah, right three out of 15 on 3rd down conversions. Stopped their 4th and short run to end the 3rd quarter but as a whole we have to get better.

At the end of the day, uhh, we just need to get better as a team. I mean hats off to the other guys, they just kept battlin' out there, battlin' through all four quarters and they won the battle in the trenches and that's why they have more points than we did today.

Uhh injury wise, Va'shon has a knee. Thuy Nguyen has a shoulder and we all know Jimbo Jim-Bob got a concussion. All of these guys will be evaluated before we practice on Tuesday"

[Nickel D]

Omaha!

(...and, of course...)

This may be a first down (say it with me now)...

depending on where they spot the ball.

[Wallcrawler]

This is your chance to be thpecial. Mushmouth Sharpe's go-to schtick.

It is what it is. (most despised. WTMF ELSE WOULD IT BE?!) Phil Simms is the biggest offender here.


Adding a "Y" to the end of players' names that do not have a Y at the end drives me fucking insane as well.

What a throw by Matty Ryan!

When you have a leader like Tommy Brady in the huddle, nothing is impossible! (again....Phil fucking Simms.)

[Buehler445]

Establish the run. Man, how 1990.

[mdchiefsfan]

Trap game

[In58men]

"groom"


Oh bring in blah blah blah he can groom behind who the fuck ever"

[sfuria]

"Its a game of inches"

[J Diddy]

field general

[GloryDayz]

"The officials have a difficult job"

[siberian khatru]

"It depends on where they spot the ball."

Well, no shit, Sherlock.

[Buehler445]

field general

Yeah.

That's a good one.

[PunkinDrublic]

Every day is Halloween in the black hole.

[Rasputin]

Every Royals game "Driving the Bus"


Sorry I want baseball players to field the team not bus drivers. Get an experienced bus driver to drive the team to games.

Who is driving the bus? Please not Billy Butler.

[Easy 6]

"we need to clean a few things up"

[Reerun_KC]

Need to keep broke dick player to Mentor the younger guys.

Stupid fucking fans.

[a pp roach]

"the century mark"

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

"Snakebit franchise" / every moron that ascribes to mythology as opposed to franchise/team-building reality.

Ooh! Another moronic gem:

"Previous regimes decisions and lack of success have no bearing on the decisions and lack of success of the current administration"!

Yep, stupidity so fucking thick you could cut it with a machete.

[srvy]

He really got his bell wrung!


Substitute with an old boxing classic that went out of style.

He is on Queer Street.

[srvy]

Any time a great good hands receiver drops a ball the old.

You just witnessed something we dont see often.

or

That is something we dont get to see very often.

Just about anything Dan Dierdorf says!

[displacedinMN]

He is the best player at that position.

[srvy]

He was looking to run with it before he had the ball.


You got to catch it with your hands not the body.



He is running like a man possessed.

[DeathByArrows]

"Roughing the passer."

[rico]

Giving 110 percent.

Ugh, I hate this so much!!! Anything over 100% makes my blood boil (considering the effort being measured is of 1 player).

[gblowfish]

"Booing Matt Casshole is Thickening and Dithguthting...."

[In58men]

"This defense has to play physical tonight"

[ClevelandBronco]

In space.
