Sports Cliches I Detest

Featured Replies

Let's start out with this one.

 

"If he/she/they want to win, (fill in the blank)."

 

Of course they want to win.  That's why they keep score.  If the announcer would just say "If he's going to win", or "To have a chance of winning"; that would be acceptable.

And here's another, then you can chime in.

"They're feeding off each other."

 

Just.  Ick.

Moving left to right on your radio dial.

"They just wanted it more"

"We were the better team...we just made too many mistakes"

 

We gave 110%.   If maximum is 100% of something 110% is impossible.

 

"He Does All the Little Things".  Doesn't anybody do the big things?

He makes everyone around him better.

 

"They didn't play to win. They played not to lose"

"Go to the ball"

“He/she is a next level athlete.”

That always left me baffled. When I was a kid I would hear the great Cawood Ledford say this . I would look at my radio and then pick it up and walk to the other side of the room and hold it in front of me and turn around. It just never made any sense to me. 

This is reserved for people in sports that are smaller in stature compared to their contemporaries:

"He may be small, but he has the biggest heart."

Clip from Bull Durham comes to mind. Language, though.

Good one.
