OT: Sports terms you can't stand/are tired of.

[JohnFSilver]

1. They wanted it more; had more heart (wtf does that mean?)

2. Can’t stand the bunt in baseball.

 

[upstater]

I'm not a fan of the term athaletic, especially when the athalete in question is dominate.

 

[Get a Job]

The term is derived from the acronym SABR, which stands for the Society for American Baseball Research

I can't stand when people attack words/ terms just because they don't understand them

I think that applies to many if not the majority of the posts in this thread. Especially the ones about the physics of hitting a baseball. These are not even sports terms per se. They are observations of the physics of the game that have been found to correlate with certain results.

Sorry but goat is overused for anything and everything.

But "WOAT" is still good imo.

 

[Scoe]

Winning ugly.

 

[krinklecut]

Any variation of "wanting it more."

Everyone wants to win.

 

[Scoe]

Effort, to me it’s an excuse and defense mechanism to accept losing.

 

[Slasher]

I have two, that bother me for different reasons:

1) Gutsy - it's sports it's not war, how gutsy is anything you do??
2) XX controls their destiny. Destiny is something that is predetermined. You can never control it.

 

[FlakeyFoont]

"the next level"

How many levels are there exactly?

 

[joober jones]

Pick six, especially when there's not a touchdown.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Pick six, especially when there's not a touchdown.

Who calls it pick 6 when there’s no TD??

 

[joober jones]

Francessa does it all the time.

 

[ZooCougar]

Student athlete

 

[methodology]

Francessa does it all the time.

Well then he's the idiot for using it incorrectly not the phrase itself

 

[BlueDogs]

“Walk off”. I could swear it used to be reserved for the first batter in a tie game in bottom of the 9th or extra innings. Now, it’s used for every extra inning game when a guy gets a hit driving the winning run home.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

He gave 110 percent.

Technically, that's more than the some who gave all.

 

[RF79]

Very tired of Dick Vitale and almost everything he says

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

The Patriots. Oh, I thought you said teams you can’t stand.

I just opened this thread for the first time last night because A) no game til Sunday and B) I thought it said "teams" also, and I was wondering how the subject could could still be going after a day or so.

I hate, "...probably one of the best ever..."

If you already think it's "one of" the best ever, you don't need "probably."

Similarly, the overuse of GOAT (Greatest of all time). Can there really be that many GOATs?

 

[Martin]

With authority.
Only “insert your favorite quarterback’s name,” could make that throw.

 

[Bezzz]

Dan Hurley can drop a tour-nament on you every now and then

As does Geno.

Trickeration and physicality.
