Your Least Favorite Sports Phrases
There are a lot of catch phrases, buzz words, and hackneyed expressions that fly around sports like a swarm of annoying gnats. I just want to vent, and allow others to vent, about these overused, misused, clichéd, and flat out bullshit words and phrases. Here are some off the top of my head:
“Hostile environment”
I know going on the road is always tough, and some places are really difficult for visiting teams. But this term implies some sort of mortal danger. Baghdad is a hostile environment, Tiger Stadium is not.
“Swashbuckler”
This one isn’t used so much, but it was once the first word many used to describe Brett Favre, and other players who play their games with a devil-may-care attitude. ARRRRR!!!!! SHIVER ME TIMBERS!
“Reservations for 6”
This is a SportsCenter catch phrase that elicited some giggles when first uttered, but has lost its appeal since its 1,000,000th time being said.
“Unstoppable”
This word has been used to describe Peyton Manning, this year’s Patriots, LaDanian Tomlinson, and countless other players and teams. I’ve watched a lot of sports in my life, and know a lot of the history of sports. Every athlete, team and coach ever has been quite stoppable.
So what are some of the phrases you are sick of hearing when watching games, reading articles, viewing highlights, or watching those “expert panel” type shows?
