Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 2016839, member: 534"] I forgot to include that the really annoying announcer scraped his nails on my chalkboard by using one of my pet peeve bball analyst phrases. A phrase that was part of Fudgie's [I]use at least once a game[/I] checklist. [I]"Player's Name almost got away with a travel there."[/I] What is that supposed to mean? "Got away with a travel" means he traveled but didn't get called for it. So what does the [I]almost[/I] mean? That the ref caught it at the last instant and called it? Hell no, Neither this , nor the fudgemaster used the term following a travel call frm the ref. Maybe it means that he looked like he was about to move hs pivot foot, but shot/passed/dribbled the ball just in time to avoid traveling. In that case, what did he [I]get away with[/I]? He didn't travel. He didn't get wrongly called for one. Nothing to comment on, other than to say, "I thought he was going to move his pivot foot there, but he didn't." Which kinda doesn't need to be said. [/QUOTE]
