Guest Vern Gagne Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 "They left it all on the field" "The (insert game) doesn't matter anymore" ...and my personal favorite. After any tragedy. "This puts things in perspective"
Guest alkeiper Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 "Today's players are overpaid and lazy." They started that one in the 1880s. "Pitching and Defense wins ballgames." "it's the little things that win games." "There goes Nagy's elbow again"
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 "the Red Sox can actually do it this year" "This puts things in perspective"
Guest the pinjockey Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 "We gave a 110% out there today" I always hate the perspective one. Do they really think that I take my sports as a life or death thing anyway. If there were no sports tomorrow I would be seriously pissed but I wouldn't shoot myself or anything. I don't need announcers reminding me that it is only a game. I want sports as an escape from normal life so quit yapping and get back to the game dammit. Rant over.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Peter Gammons after the 9-11 Attacks "There isn't going to be a strike after this" Peter Gammons after Darryle Kile's Death "There isn't going to be a strike after this" Something tells me the players haven't learned their lesson yet.
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 what about that analogy between 9-11 and the strike, kinda funny in a sad way
Guest meanmaisch Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 "We're just going to take it one game at a time"
Guest Spicy McHaggis Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 "Strokin' it from behind the line..." "He's really feelin' it..."
Guest converge241 Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 baseball: (usually from a fan) "its too high..itll never make it"
Guest Some Guy Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 About a player who can't hit his weight (like Tony Clark) "He's a stand up guy, though" "That one would have been out of Yellowstone." "We'll get 'em next time" "This guy could roll out of bed on Chraitmas day and hit" (Usually said about Manny Ramirez here) Where's Jimy Williams when you need him? He was the king of using cliches to dodge questions. BTW Bear it's "There's always next year."
Guest razazteca Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 He could go all the way....TOUCHDOWN Andres Contor of the greatest (soccer)football announcer: GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 we showed a lot of hustle, gave 110% percent, and kept our cool
Guest alkeiper Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 Andres Contor of the greatest (soccer)football announcer: GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL That's a catchprase really, not a cliche.
Guest razazteca Posted August 5, 2002 Report Posted August 5, 2002 well several other announcers on Telemudo, Univision, and every other channel do that. Plus some the ESPN guys even did it during the World Cup. so what the diff between catch phrase and cliche?
Guest alkeiper Posted August 6, 2002 Report Posted August 6, 2002 A catchphrase is a specific saying an announcer will use for a call, such as a specific announcer's home run call. Usually it can be attributed to one person. A cliche is something lots of people use to describe a generic situation. Its known primarily for its overuse and not really meaning anything.
Guest Kingpk Posted August 6, 2002 Report Posted August 6, 2002 John Sterling's home run call is ANNOYING! No matter how fast the ball leaves, it's always "It's high! It is Deep! It is Gone!!!!!" As far as cliches: "Just take it one game at a time" "Time to put the game face on" "Take it to them all day long" "This changes the whole complextion of the game."
Guest ant_7000 Posted August 6, 2002 Report Posted August 6, 2002 "We kept our composer" "We controlled the tempo" "Doesnt matter who we play" "Smash mouth football"
Guest Vern Gagne Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 "His motors always running" "He's a coach on the field" During any all-star game. "This might be an exhibition, but when the game is on the line these players want to win"
Guest Bricks Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 "We beat ourselves out there" Yup, the other team had nothing to do with it.
Guest crandamaniac Posted August 7, 2002 Report Posted August 7, 2002 If you watch almost any Nascar race, then you're bound to hear this: "It's just one of those racing deals" In any kind of meeting by a team: "Let's go out there and show them what we're made of!"
