"You Know"
 

Watching the Leinart post-game conference got me thinking... What is it with athletes and the phrase "you know"? It's like the new "ummm" or "like" for the new generation. It's so automatic with so many players nowadays. When you pay attention to it, it gets extremely irritating, you know?

I remember when Beltran was still in KC, and in his post game interviews "You know" made up literally two out of every three words.

Wha the heck, huh?

That's better than Adrian Peterson from OU, when he was at the Heisman dealy he said "you know what I'm sayin" 500 times in 2 minutes.

Well, you know.....

Lienart probably doesn't know what to say after that loss, you know?!

Well, its like, uhh, you know, our kicker effn blew this fuggin game for us and, like, you know, ummm, there WILL be some birdkill in front of his house tonight.

You'd be surprised how many silly things you say when on such a stage. Someone once recorded me during a Q&A years ago. Every other 'word' was 'errrrr.'

i think some folks dont know how to handle the media- get nervous and start saying you know... you know... like.. and you know
