Dumb sports cliche quotes!

[Indiana Sev]

"We're gonna give it a 110%" :rolleyes:



"We gotta take it one game at a time" :rolleyes:



"We gotta play the full sixty minutes" -------------Hockey:rolleyes:

[PapaJupe2k]

"This is a MUST win game."- I actually heard a baseball announcer use that phrase earlier this month. For christsakes it only April.:rolleyes:

[Grebdron]

"Sports is 90% menatl. The other half is physical".

[Indiana Sev]

"We're gonna give it everything we got and hopefully we'll come out on top" :rolleyes:



"They wanted it more" :rolleyes:

[Grebdron]

My (least) favorite.

"I'd like to give praise to Jesus for helping me (us) come out on top."

What's wrong with that one? What's wrong with being thankful?

It's pretty presumptuous for an athlete to think that Jesus cares one fucking iota who wins a game. Does that athlete think Jesus likes him or his team better than his opponent?

[Moviefan1234]

No, but their thankful for the success. There's no problem being thankful for their success.

[Grebdron]

They can be thankful all they want. Just keep the preaching at home.

[PapaJupe2k]

(About the losing team in a game) "It was a moral victory."

"It's a shame either team has to lose this game." What do you want, a tie, so neither of them win it. :rolleyes:

"They played there guts out."

I'll second that.


Now, I don't mind a little point up, or kneel down for a few seconds, but come on. :rolleyes:

"It's do or die". :rolleyes:



What do these assholes think it's fuckin' Vietnam?

Oh yeah, do or die!

My ass!

:mad:

I don't like the aforementioned quotes, but I especially don't like when athletes say: "I wanna thank God for this win tonight." As Charles Barkley stated in his book, God doesn't have a favorite team, and he's probably too worried about larger problems than a basketball game.

[Zombie]

Baseball:

During a game..." What do ya say now, kid?". Now, what the fcuk does that mean? Honestly?

"You gotta hit the ball"....no shit thanks coach. how about you get your ass up here and do that.

Anyone that argues a call is stpuid, you can't change it at all.

[Indiana Sev]

"Our backs are against the wall" :rolleyes:

If I remember correctly, the title is "I may be wrong, But I doubt it".

Lol. Well put! :D

[Tom Samborski]

"Though I did most of the scoring, I gotta say that this was a team effort."

[Indiana Sev]

I've been hearing this one a lot lately...

"We gotta put this game behind us and focus on the next one."

Ugh, playoff time, complete lack of original thoughts!

[Cunning Visions]

"There's no I in Team" -No shit...ya don't say?

"(Snorting Sound).....DAMN thats some good shit!"-Every Dallas Cowboy player

"Jason..stop banging the cheerleaders" -Oh wait..thats something my coach said to me..nevermind :p j/k

[James Logan]

"The next game's a must-win."

When you talk about Game Two of a best-of-seven series, I'd tend to say "no it isn't, you can still win the next, bub". And when it's a game that can kick you out of the playoffs if you lose...then I'd tade to say "fuckin' duh!".

Oh, and btw, thanks for the book title, Greb.

[shifty]

Football(soccer) commentators say this all the time..."Man Utd are setting their stall out early".......WHAT!!!......and..."Well Richard,..it's a game of two halves"(obviously)....and...."ohh he won't be happy when he sees that"...these all make me laugh:p

[PapaJupe2k]

Well I was reading the Mike Tyson/rape thread in the celebrity gossip section and thought I'd post some of my favorite Tysonisms.

"I'm a tyranical titan ..... my style is impeccable..... my defense is inpreganable.":D

"I'll eat his (Evander Holyfield) children."

"Ludicrous"

"Mike, are you going to go after the world title again?"
"Uh, I don't know..... praise Allah!"

[Nachokoolaid]

Mike is just so "court-jesterous."

"It's not whether you win or lose, it's whether you learn from your mistakes and get better."
Fuck that.

[PapaJupe2k]

Just because my Cubbies are doing so well this year, here are some of my favorite Harryisms. Honoring Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Caray.

"There's danger here, Cheri!"

(The Cubs make a late inning comeback) "The big possum walks late!":D

"You can't beat fun at the old ballpark."

"Geeeez, he (Dunston:D ) couldn't have hit that with a telephone pole."

(Player X hits a home run) "They are dancing in the streets of (Player X's hometown)."

RIP Harry.

Found a great article on the above mentioned "God" sports quotes, for anybody who's interested.

http://espn.go.com/page2/s/tmq/030701.html?partnersite=espn

[uncle_el]

"i put all i had out there on the field/court/ice." umm... than can i get a piece of that million dollar salary!

"the ball sped up on him" usually said in a baseball game played on astro-turf... due to the law of physics, it is IMPOSSIBLE for the ball to speed up when it hits a surface!

[PapaJupe2k]

I heard one of the stupidest quotes by an announcer in some time during the Vikings/Cardinals game today.

Bill Romanowski- "Take a look at Emmit Smith, he is all class... He's gotta be loving the fact that Marcel Shipp hurt his shoulder, that means he'll get more carries today." :rolleyes:

There is a reason he is the bottom of the barrel FOX announcer and is doing the Cardinals game I guess.:D

[TheDeadWalk]

"They just SHOCKED the world!"

No.

No you fucking didn't.

I'm pretty sure the townsfolk in Libya didn't go all apeshit when San Antonio won the NBA championship. It's hard enough to get Canadians interested in the sport.

LOL :D

Good one.

I doubt even San Antonians cared all that much.

[kiwihitman]

Whenever a player says something like "they wanted it more" i get really pissed off they may as well say we were to lazy to come out and play today but we could have won if we wanted to.

[Indiana Sev]

"We can't keep taking dumb penalties."

:rolleyes:

No, reeeeeeeeeally?

[horrorfreak13]

Or how about every time a commentator says when a goalie allows an easy goal

"He probably wanted that one back"

No kidding I would have thought so too!

Lol, yeah exactly! Goalies want all of them back guys, even the good goals.

[jeo4]

John Madden is full of these little "pearls"...not necessary cliche', but definitely dumb. It's like he's talking to a fourth grade gym class.

-When the defense puts pressure on the quarterback, he can't throw the ball.

-When you don't cover a receiver, he can catch the ball and gain big yardage.

-When the quarterback throws to an open receiver in the endzone, they get a touchdown.

Just really obvious shit like this. I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea. How he's been a color commentator for so long I'll never know.

[Indiana Sev]

"They were the better team today."

:rolleyes:

Yeah, we know. The fact that they scored more points than you kind of gave that away.

[Ripper1888]

"To the victor goes the spoils"

[Kastman]

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose, just go out there and have fun"

Do losers get trophies dickhead?

NO.... so it isn't fun.

[PapaJupe2k]

A player gets injured in baseball but doesn't go on the DL.

"He's day to day."

Hey, aren't we all?

Very funny! And very true!

I've been hearing this one a lot lately:

For hockey...

"We've got to get a lot of traffic in front of him (goalie) so he can't see the puck. That way we're liable to get a few more past him."

The same line for every series for every goalie!!

Yawn!

[Deep Blue Sea]

-"For me....it isn't about the money".

(Right after some asshole signs a $175 million dollar deal.)

-"Somebody has to step it up now."

-"You can feel the electricity."

-"Statistics can be misleading."

-"You can't say enough about this guy (or team)."

I'm sure I'll think of more but that's all I can think of right now.
