Most tired sports cliches

[URBCLONE]

Heard one on my way to watch the game today - game face. Tell me what the most tired sports cliche is. For my money, it is either "banged up" or "athleticism". Time to retire both of those if you ask me. Banged up has mutated into many different combinations. For example, Ken Miller way back when on the Jock was talking NFL. He said a team was "bruised up". For crying out loud, how about just saying a team has a few people out with injuries.

Anyway, what are the most heinous sports cliches?

"We just wanted to go out there and play hard."

 

[cycloneworld]

"We are just going to take it one game at a time"

 

[SuperCy]

I've always hated the comparison of "going into battle" or "going to war."
Sorry guys, this is a game. It's not life and death.

Fans yelling Air Ball.

Anything our of Steve Alfaud's mouth?? :yes4lo:

 

[Cyclone06]

"No one believed in us all year, but we knew we could get it done." I think I've heard this following every championship game the last 3 years.

 

[REDCYBIRD]

Min is "We've faced adversity all season":baffled5wh:

 

[chadm]

He always gives 110 percent.
We're taking it one game at a time.
They have to stay focused.
There’s no " I " in TEAM.
Defense wins championships.
The field is a frozen tundra.
The prevent defense prevents you from winning.
Records are made to be broken.

Mine is "They were exactly who we thought they were, if you wanna crown them, then crown their ***"

Ask Bobby Knight what he thinks of the term "Game Face." I watched it on youtube the other day.

 

[isucyfan]

Least tired cliche: "Boom goes the dynamite."

 

[cowboycurtis]

How about DMAC with "they are a good team, no doubt about it."

glad that is gone

Kansas Basketball?

 

[SuperCy]

"We shocked the world." Really? I guess there's nothing more important going on in the world than some game

 

[SuperCy]

"Classy young man." Right. Just because he's the only one on your team not to be arrested doesn't mean that he's classy. It means that he just hasn't been caught yet.

 

[Cyberclone]

"WE just need to go out, and play "Our" game!!!

 

[jdoggivjc]

"...want to give thanks to God; without him today would not be possible" when you know that the athlete's lifestyle is ANYTHING but a reflection of God.

I'm not ripping on the TRUE Christian athletes (I'm a Christian myself), I just hate the absolute "give glory to God" for 30 seconds during the interview and then not having the lifestyle to back it up.

 

[SuperCy]

Plus, I'd hate to think that God is actually going to determine the outcome of a football game. If that was the case then we must have really made him mad last year.

"We had our backs against the wall. It was a must win situation."

and

"That fumble in the first quarter was the turning point of the game."
