Jetlag Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I only thought of this because I read the Cedric Houston thread and saw where he claimed it's the best he's felt in years. I have to think that line probably irritates me the most. How come every year every athlete claims right before the season that they've never felt better? Rarely do such players have huge years. The last one I could think of is 2004 Curtis Martin but I could probably list 500 examples of where they did nothing during that next season. What cliche do you hate the most? P.S. Second goes to "I want to thank God for this win." Not that I believe in one (that's a different thread altogether) but if there is what the hell does he/she care about some sports event?

Maxman Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Much like Lag I hate when they say, "I am in the best shape of my career." Well you are 31 years old now. So what the hell did you do the other years? HUH???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasonJet Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I'd like to thank God for... BLAH BLAH BLAH. What makes people think God cares about them so much?

Bugg Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 "This team(guy) has great team chemistry.He means so much in the lockerroom." The next championship team with bad chemistry and chock full of a-holes will be first; as will the next last place team with great chemistry and great character guys. Just crap made up by lazy sportswriters. The "God" stuff is pretty bad. Let's assume that the Almighty has better things to do than worry about a sporting event, and also that you aren't playing the Antichrist and the assembled children of darkness.

Bob Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 There was a comedian, I can't remember which one, who did a rant on the god stuff.
