I think it's kinda like playing Baylor in football in 2012, or playing aTm in football in 1998.  Like that.

Can we make this the dumb sports catch phrases master thread?


Listing one player in plural form: "They need the Will Spradlings and Rodney McGruders to play big if they're going to contend" etc.

"It will depend on the spot"  :facepalm: of course it depends on the spot you stupid idiot

Use of the word "untracked."

As in, "Cat offense looks to get untracked after a slow start."

CF3 you are 50% correct:

When people say "The Tom Bradys and the Peyton Mannings" it drives me crazy

When people say "it depends on the spot" it does not drive me crazy. Sometimes it's obvious whether it's a 1st down or not, sometimes you can't tell, and it's up to the official's judgment.

I hate it when people say "he's a high motor guy"  WTF is a high motor? You don't pop the hood of a sports car and say "oh wow look at that high motor"

I hate it when people say "line duh scrimmage" because it's "line of scrimmage" and there is no "D" sound anywhere

When one of the keys to the game is:
*Get them in 3rd and long situations. (Has there ever been a defense that did not want to get the offense in 3rd and long situations?)
(Sorry _Fan, I know you use this one, too.)

Anytime a reporter (normally Kirk Herbstreit, who I like other than this example) says, "the key to this game will be balance."  "They have a lot of balance on offense."

Drives me insane.

This isn't a phrase, but I hate when they show percentages for 3rd downs without breaking them down for 3rd and short, 3rd and mid-range, and 3rd and long. If it's 3rd and 10, I don't care if they've gotten 3/4 3rd downs so far this game, they were probably 3rd and short. They're all completely different situations.

In baseball, announcers will often say "the tie goes to the runner". There is no such rule. There is no such thing as a tie.

"Coach needs them to BUY IN to his system"

It is almost always about "understanding" rather than "buying in", right? Our hoops team wasn't skeptical of oscar's motion offense, they just didn't know how the hell to run it.

That's a pretty werid one, CF3. There is such a thing as a tie, if it is perceived to be so in the umpire's POV. If the umpire perceives a tie, he calls it in favor of the runner. What is so hard to grasp here? I mean are you talking about nanoseconds of difference, so technically it is not a tie? I don't get it here.

As God as my witness, I have never heard a "d" sound. I have heard the "of" pronounced "uhh". If that is what you are referring to, then I'll agree, but you specifically mention a "d" sound, so I cannot agree.
