Most overused cliche in football?

however, he didn't state that every tackle could save a touchdown. he stated that every tackle technically saves a touchdown. there is a difference. okay, let's forget about being forced out of bounds as being or not being a tackle. instead, i go back to my contention that not every sack, which is a tackle, saves a touchdowns. not all sacks keep a quarterback from completing a pass, and, therefore, not all tackles save touchdowns.

Can we all agree that nearly every offensive play (outside of the 2 min. offense) is designed to score a TD, and that all defensive plays are intended to stop the offense from scoring?

:biggrin:

The bullshit "Keys to the Game" that every team would like to have. i.e. 1. Establish the run to open up for the passing game. 2. Don't give up any big plays on defense. 3. Give the ball to your playmakers...and all that other cliche shit.

How about "He really knows where he's supposed to be out there" or "He really knows what he's supposed to do obviously". If you're going to use these stupid shit cliches, then I think you should have to use it the other direction, meaning when a guy makes a stupid mistake they need to say "Clearly he knows shit about this offense, slept through the film room and has no clue out here".

It's alright. It'll be fine once the game slows down for ya'. Just take it one game at a time, and, with god's blessing, you'll give it your best shot and win the ones you're supposed to, while hopefully not losing the lesson along the way.

The cliche that gets me is the use of the word "adversity" and the "overcoming" of it. When Ted Ginn left the BCS Championship game, that was NOT adversity. It was misfortune. It was bad luck. It sucked. It was something that had to be dealt with.... but it was NOT adversity. (And, actually, I don't think anyone described it as such, just using it as an example.) Adversity contemplates calamities. Adversity is, for example, losing your entire team to a plane crash.

How about the old "one XXXXXXX at a time"...one game at a time, one play at a time, one at bat at a time, one pitch at a time, one pass at a time, one catch at a time, one shot at a time, one save at a time, one win at a time, one quarter at a time, one period at a time, one series at a time, one first down at a time, one score at a time, one putt at a time, one hole at a time, one set at a time, one season at a time, one possession at a time, one lap at a time, one shift at a time, one goal at a time, one run at a time, one baserunner at a time, one base at a time, one free throw at a time...

why isn't losing one of your main players a misortunate event? I'm not arguing the english language with you becuase I'm not that knowledgeable about it, but I would categorize the loss of teddy as overcoming adversity. (which we obviously were unable to do)
