Sports talk cliche of the year: "do their due diligence."

But that's just how I roll.

Can’t stand the sports announcers describing a player’s “skill set”. And the Entertainment Tonight crowd gushing over the latest Hollywood “baby bump” is going to make me kill myself if I hear it one more time (my wife watches that junk, and I’m forced to sit through it too much!).

That is so California 1991.

What irritates me in current sports talk is the new way to express the plural of the baseball stat RBI. Over decades of common usage the abbreviation RBI (runs batted in) has become a noun itself. The sentence “Derek Jeter has 114 RBIs” is thus acceptable. But now extra intelligent sports news readers show their superior knowledge by saying “Derek Jeter has 114 RBI”. It doesn’t sound right.

Worst football cliche’—

“He’s running down hill”

Hey, Madden, Aikman, and all you other idiots!!!! THERE’S NO DOWNHILL ON A FOOTBALL FIELD!!!!
