Guest the pinjockey Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post 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 Some Guy Report post 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." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest alkeiper Report post Posted August 5, 2002 Andres Contor of the greatest (soccer)football announcer: GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL That's a catchprase really, not a cliche. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alkeiper Report post 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 Report post 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."
