Cliches.
Specifically, sports cliches, but this ESPN Page 2 article is a fun read for the whole family. Here's my favorite part, from one of the many quizzes:
Discussion Questions:There are also multiple choice questions that have "A) False" and "B) False" as the only answers, or the one that has an answer for A and the other answers are "B) A" and "C) A" and "D) A." I find this stuff fucking funny.
1) If an athlete can be Visibly Limping, can they also be Invisibly Limping?
2) If, in theory, any player can Score From Anywhere On The Field, then how is the ability to Score From Anywhere On The Field a verbal mark of distinction?
3) Does contemporary quantum mechanics account for Coming Out Flat and Playing Within Myself?
4) If you didn't Put Points On The Scoreboard, where else would you put them?

One of my favorites from way back when was when they were covering snooker in the days when colour TV wasn't universal. The quote was...
"He's lining up on the green and, for those viewers watching in black and white, that's the ball behind the pink."
I love concentration, myself. You know, whenever there's a tipped ball, and the receiver adjusts his route to catch it. Every blessed time, the announcers will say he exhibited "great concentration," instead of, well, "he adjusted his route to catch the ball."
I can concentrate on stuff, too, does that mean I could play wide receiver?
