Refering to the football field as the gridiron. I looked up the history because for the life of me it didn't make since. Apparently, it came about very early in football history when someone in the nosebleed section noticed the similarity of the lines on the field to a barbeque grill...who cares!!! I think they just keep saying it now because it sounds tough or something...but it's not...let it go! I have a lot of others, but they mainly pertain to basketball.

They also refer to basketball players a "cagers" because there used to be mesh cages around the court to keep the ball in play.

So its ok for someone to say "We would have lost if not for that interception" or something like that. Wouldnt that making an excuse for winning? :thumb:

 

That's pretty funny. Naw man, when you win and say something like that , people think you're being humble or realistic. When you lose, saying "if" sounds like whining or making excuses.

"We're taking it one game at a time."

Translation: "We're thinking about that big game in 3 weeks too."

 

"It was a team effort."

Translation: "I was pretty awesome tonight."

 

"We beat ourselves."

Translation: "Usually we would have beaten this team, but tonight I wouldn't have trusted these idiots on my team to sit right on a toilet seat."

 

"They have swagger."

Translation: "They are arrogant."

 

"He's a blue-collar player."

Translation: "He's not very talented, but he hustles."

What gets me is the word "Great" it is so over used now a days. Nobody is good anymore they have to be GREAT!!!!

 

Also compareing players/teams to those of years past. Why is it so important for a running back to be better than Jim Brown, a qb better than Unitas, a team better than the Packers/Steelers. If they are the best of this era, leave it at that.

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.

      Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.

      I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.

      I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
