Ethan in Cleveland Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I found myself saying "Act like you have been there before" this morning. Was not even in the context of football but it fit the situation. It's one of the better phrases I think. I know it is associated with Barry Sanders just handing the ball to the ref after a TD. Not sure if it predated him or not. What are some of your favorite phrases? PS Yes this is a thread to talk about anything but more mock drafts.... 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 One of my lasting images of Thurman Thomas is him calmly and almost disinterestedly handing the football or tossing it to the official after a touchdown! It was his trademark. George Carlin did a great bit talking about the language of football as juxtaposed against the language of baseball. Hilarious! 4 4 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazeduck Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 "Boom" (but only in the John Madden voice and coming immediately after about 12 muttered, indistinguishable words strung together) "Whoooop" (only Chris Berman style) "Jacked up" (must be screamed by everyone present in the room, in chorus, as loudly as possible, immediately following a massive and obviously illegal hit) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twist_to_open Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) "At the end of the day....." Seems when every player and coach is interviewed they manage to sneak that phrase in, I rarely if ever hear it used outside of a football interview.
