The Sports Cliché List
From the Mission Statement: "We define a sports cliché as an expression that has been used in and around sports with sufficient frequency over a protracted period such that it is 'tired' at best and meaningless at worst. In that respect, we contend that nothing of any importance has ever been said in a half time analysis. The 'break in the action' is, however, chock-full of mundane clichés tossed around by expensively dressed ex-players and coaches."

Hockey, Football, Basketball, Golf and Baseball are represented in this "searchable collection of sports clichés, jargon and lingo." Associated topics, like "Stadium Anthems," "Losers' Locker Room," "Fired Coaches" and "Getting Caught," are conveniently grouped together.

There's humor to be found in the recognition of these examples and making sport of our exasperation with them.
