Sky Diver Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Cliche: "He split the uprights"! Alternative: "The kicker’s foot struck the football at the center of percussion such that it was propelled forward at velocity 53 mph and 1400 rpm over the out stretched arms of the defensive lineman and sailed over the crossbar and bisected the vertical posts resulting in a field goal!"

US Egg Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) You'll never hear it, but........ "He sucks" or "They suck" would succinctly describe those in Pro sports instead of lengthy excuse making diatribes by the announcers. An 8 y.o. uses that term now.

Sometimes I enjoy ripping into all the dumb comments made Mostly I'm just fed up with them, watching the World Cup they excitedly update the percentage of possession every 30 seconds, when the score is all that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Process Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 While talking over a replay: Instead of " If he catches this ball he scores" " If he caught that ball he would have scored" A replay is something that happened in the past....no? Oops forgot one: Instead of "here comes Tom Brady" when the offense comes on the field, how about "here come the Patriots" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
