The new catch phrase this year seems to be "fast twitch"

I heard it a bazillion times over the weekend.

I first remember hearing about fast twitch about 20 years ago- pretty sure I hear recruitniks talk about it regularly.

Yeah, I've heard it multiple times over the years. I still have no clue what the fuck it means.

There are parts of me that twitch fast.

Unfortunately, they're not the parts that football coaches would have any interest in.

Oh I totally get it. Having spent the last 10 years around youth sports it's quite obvious those that are fast twitch and those that are not. There are differences in muscle buildup and reaction with different people. The only problem I have with its usage in today's sports is that virtually every athlete that makes it to the level where they are on television is a fast-twitch person.

Well, I mean, they are on TV. The real question is how they operate in space.

And... do they look good in a uniform?

 

[matcar]

Well of course that differs from person to person. I mean if your name is Braxton Miller, then the laws of gravity do not seem to apply to you and you operate in space the same way you operate on Earth. You just float around at light speed. On the other hand if you're me… You just drink beer.

Some guys just develop a twitch when they're on television.

It depends on whether or not they have their ears pinned back...

Is twitch the new way of saying brain damage?

 

[LovelandBuckeye]

Rhymes with "Hark Hay"

Well shit. You have me at a loss for words with that shit.

 

[Thump]

It depends on whether or not they have their ears pinned back...

.....or if they have abilwity.

 

[Palpie]

What if they play in a stardard def state and not high def?

 

[Saw31]

C'mon America...

I thought fast/slow twitch was actually types of muscles... you can work either. Fast twitch for explosive/abrupt short movements (4-6 A-B). Slow twitch for more sustained activity (soccer? longer track races?)
