Post the things you hate Color Men/Play by Play guys saying. My least favorite is "To a man". It seems to be popping up everywhere these days.

"Jack him up" or "Jacked up". Tom Jackson owns that. Everybody else can invent their own expression.

"When you talk about..."
Has to go.,
I think Theisman starts about half his sentances with this phrase.

There's a lot of non MJH stuff on the MJH board (But it guarantees it gets read).

My bad for repeating a thread. To a man, I didn't know, I was out with an eye.

Yeah , the Spam section was quite the topic of conversation todaY . I also think Doug and my boy Slappy have a little Niles Crane in them .

Guys who shave themselves and wash there hands 20 times a day are a bit obsessive , compulsive.

Ask Slappy how he blew out his septic tank pump by stuffing those baby wipes down his shitter.

Dumb fuck .

I'll second this. Though, if you look at my sig, it's pretty obvious I would.

Amen, brother. the pregame of mnf is god awful. hearing ron jaworksi yell "jacked up" is funny the first time, after that its embarassing for everyone involved.

Can I just add to one of these threads the term "in space". Like, "that guy is great in space." Are we watching Captain James Lovell? Or, "they really try to scheme to get Player X out in space". Isn't the scheme pretty much to always get a guy out IN SPACE? Aren't most guys pretty good in space? I can run when nobody is around me. There should be more talk about guys that are great in traffic.

Constant misuse of the term literally gets me also. No need for examples here I think we've all heard them.

Finally, recently there been a lot of talk of teams coming out and "punching/smacking/hitting them in the face" when talking about your opponent and hitting them hard. They are not literally hitting them in the face (that's a penalty) so can't they just say that they came out hitting hard. But, wait, they are always supposed to do that. If I heard it once that's colorful, but I read a high school player quoted as saying it today.

Why stop at hitting them in the face? Why don't they just say "we wanted to come out and shoot their grandmothers"? They are not doing either one anyway.

You know me like that.

Sorry, but just had to add one other irritant. Since when was it decreed that the middle, strong side, and weak side linebackers will forever be referred to as the Mike, Sam and Will? This reaks of coachspeak (no, not COACHspeak, DITKA!) to me. I know some guys get off on trying to sound inside by reciting coachspeak but middle, strong and weak were good enough for the past 80 years, they still make sense to me.

Not to go completely off topic but I will. It is like the whole RBI / RBIs reference. Everytime I see some blow dried Guy Smiley on the booyah network say someone has 53 RBI instead of 53 RBIsss, I want to smack them in the head. I GET IT! We're stupid by saying 53 runs batted ins, but, you know what, I don't care. It was good for 100 years. Some things just become accepted language. It just sounds stupid to me to say RBI with no plural on the end. I don't care if it is wrong.

OK, thanks for letting me vent.

_________________

The problem with the RBI debate is that the booyahs are the ones wrong in this case. RBI becomes a word in itself so the proper plural is actually RBI's. People will say "it's not Runs Batted Insss" like you said, but even if what I said above wasn't true, then I could come back that the singular of RBI is also incorrect by saying "it's not proper to say he had 1 Runssss Batted In". It not only sounds bad when those morons say it but they aren't even right in doing so.

Larrivee's..."A Dagger" has got to go. He uses it over & over & over again during the same game(s).

All Hawk Harrelson "cr@p"....he gone, ova, gas, grab some bench....Ughhh is all so "schticky" it comes off as fake.

That is a great one Doc. I kind of understand why they do it in basketball with 1,2,3 etc. instead of point guard, shooting guard etc. as those positions have dramatically changed since the nomenclature was developed. If it is a 3 linebacker defense in football those positions are the same damn thing. Call it Charley, Bill and Tom and it translates just as easily for me. The Sam, Mike and Will has always reeked of jocksniffiness to me.

Add "Gunslinger" to the list of hated terms. Can somebody think of something original?

The first guy I recall naming the linebacker positions was Greg Blache. I recall listening to his weekly shit fest with B&B and of course, Bernsie picked it up like he was the consummate insider who had been using those expressions for years.

it's been will, mike, and sam since 4th grade pee wee football in 1984.
