what words are you tired of hearing. mine is the word overrated. I am tired of the youth of america and the media using this term.
a team loses, they were overrated. like everything has a ranking now. you hear it at the nfl and nba drafts.
every time I hear some one way so and so it overrated, I asked them how and why they are overrated. from the kids I get, just because, from adults I get, just because.
think alittle here people. I think we have become so dependent on the media for our brains. sad, sad, sad.
so what words do you think are well, overrated.

A concept I hate is "championships" as in a player, team, or coach can only validate themselves by winning a championship.
Great teams every year don't win championships. I can see where it is everyone's goal, but too many people's first argument against great teams is "they didn't win a championship" and it gets frustrating.
Like now Peyton Manning is such a better player because he won a championship? The notion is ridiculous, but it always gets thrown out there.
Is Urban Meyer finally a genius now because he won a championship?
The pressure and desire to win are always there, but at some point all teams lose, but one. That is what makes it so amazing to be that one team left. It is almost impossible to do.

Skill players- I use it all the time, but as a former lineman I resent it because I not only had skills - I teach them.

I always put "skilled players" in paranthesis. I can't stand the phrases- coach em up and my bad. Coach em up is usually uttered by people that have no clue what needs to be done, but they pass the buck onto you by saying you need to "coach em up". Hate my bad because I was forced to say it instead of saying my fault by one of my coaches. We had to run if we said my fault. Also hate it because our society has accepted it to excuse a wide varitey of actions. "You just killed someone!", "Oh, my bad.", "That's OK, get it right next time."  |

i was going to write "ACL", but dubber beat me to it. "my bad" is awful as well...... i sure as hell know its not MY bad, so it has to be you! also have my own personal hatred of a phrase i get thrown at me often. i am the OC and we run gun/spread option. base plays are IZ,OZ, trap, dart, Speed option. my HC will have zero input on offensive game plans, he really doesnt even grasp the philosophy of our offense at all. but in the game when we get stuffed on a run play... i'll get "coahc, cant we just line up under center and run RIGHT AT THEM?" it drives me up a wall. inside zone isnt right at them? dart is our version of iso, for cryin out loud. people who dont understand it believe the spread is all about finesse and "fancy" plays. its something that irritates me alot

I have much more respect for the coaches that consistently win 8-9 games a year and never wins it all than the "one year wonder" who gets the breaks and wins the whole thing one year and struggles to break even the other years. I don't think Bowden, Paterno, and Osborne were any less as coaches before they won their first "national championship." It's like we have talked about before. Teams come and go, but PROGRAMS sustain excellence year after year. |

I don't like my players or coaches to use "rape" or "kill" when referring to their opponents. I just think those are so innappropriate ....

"Coach, I broke my ankle playing AAU basketball." Told to me by my starting QB last week. Talk about bad words after hearing that.
"I had to work coach."- excuses by players on why they didn't make their summer workouts.
"I have _________________."- Plug in any injury that may stop a player from running conditioning.
"My bad."- already pretty well explained
"I'll try."- Do or do not. There is no try. (Damn, Yoda is a freaking genius)
"I can't."- Most of the time stated before the previous quote.
"Coach, such and such is goofing off in my class."- absolutely cannot stand hearing these words. Here we are trying to teach our guys to be model student-athletes, and they act the fool in a teacher's class.
The list could go on and on.

"Coach, can I talk to you in private?" uttered by just about anybody. It's rarely positive news.
"But back in youth football he scored 25 TD's!"

"coach my dad wants to talk to you" HAHHAHA, Love this one. I hate hearing, " What time is it?" I don't know what it is about that. I can teach the "I can'ts" or the "I'm tireds" or even deal with parents. But when a player asks me, on the practice field, "What time is it?" it just blows me away. I usually respond with "practice is over, go home" |

latest words I hate came reading the paper. now papers refer to brett farve as hall of fame qb and don shula as hall of fame coach. why does the media have to assign a title to pump people up. people who read the sports page know brett farve is a top 10 qb all time, they know don shula was a great coach.
