McPhreak 0 Posted November 20, 2009 I think mine has to be "gunslinger/gunslinger mentality". First it was used to exclusively swing from Brett Favre's jock despite throwing up so many picks ("He's got that gunslinger mentality!") Now, it's basically just another way for commentators to describe every sh!tty QB that throws up too many picks. Can't they just describe these QB's for what they are?

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted November 20, 2009 'Vince Young just wins.........' has to be the one I hate the most. 'If only had receivers to throw to.....' Man, the good/great QBs (Brady, Manning, etc) can throw to anyone. Some WR make a QB look a lot better than they are (Moss - Culpepper). Commentators have said this about Vick, McNabb, JaMarcus Russell, Vince Young...........see the trend? 'Bill Belichick is a genius......' No, actually he's not. He is a great coach at times, but he's not a genius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Genius 0 Posted November 20, 2009 The way Dierdorf, at some point in the season, says every single player is "one of the best in the league" Dierdorf is the best colour guy on any network. He has his cliches and his lisp, admittedly, but his praise is good without being superfluous, his criticism real but not obtuse, his descriptions honest. Dan is the man. Just listen to any MNF game, anything out of the mouth of Collinsworth (idiot), or any Thursday night game, and... it's not as good colour as Dan. I don't mind Fouts, either.

Last night, in the final seconds, the commentator is "and for the 2nd straight Thursday night game it will come down to the final play". Oh how easily we forget - last Thusday's game, though in doubt perhaps until the last, was a bucket of rocks. A bucket of rocks with maybe, what, 3 whole squirts of pi$$? There is polishing the stone, and then there are straight up LIES. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squirrel82 0 Posted November 21, 2009 they refer to white players as "hardworking, lunchpale" guys who never quit. it is like a code. LMAO. ur so right. off subject but it reminds me of Larry Bird saying the same thing about the guys he's bringing to the pacers. what he wants to say is we know you quit coming to the games beacuse you dont like the thugs we had here before, so here are some white alter boys. please come.

davidbostonisgood 2 Posted November 21, 2009 they refer to white players as "hardworking, lunchpale" guys who never quit. it is like a code. Haha, I know. And I think they will be saying this for years. I've watched more than a few of the Vikings games this year and I can't tell you how many times they refer to Jared Allen's "motor" or how "hardworking" he is. Yet I could could count on one hand alone, how many times they referred to him being an unbelievable athlete, and one of the top athletes at his position.

Watchdog 0 Posted November 22, 2009 'Vince Young just wins.........' has to be the one I hate the most. 1. +1, as it's used with any mediocre QB who happens to play on a team with a great running game and defense. 2. "They need to run more - they're 15-0 when RB XYZ rushes 20 times or more in a game" comments. Teams that run don't win. Teams that are winning run. He's getting 20+ carries because they're running out the clock in the 4th quarter. 3. And what's the key to success? A player who "gives 110%", or a player who "stays within himself"?
