Cliche Sayings in Sports: The 10 Worst

I've been watching sports for over 20 years and it didn't take me long to notice that there are a lot of sayings that are used over and over again every year in every sport. Some of these cliché sayings are annoying and others are just dumb. These are the 10 worst cliché sayings in sports.

10th Worst Sports cliché: They left it all Out on the field
No kidding? I thought they got back to the dugout and played 4 more innings because they still lhad something left.

9th Worst Sports cliché: Any reference to Warriors/Soldiers/War
Unless you just defeated Genghis Khan don't talk about how much of a warrior you are.

8th Worst Sports cliché: The Big Dance
There's only two times "the Big Dance" should be used. The first is when referring to an actual dance and the second is if someone decides to give a nickname to Jonathan Papelbon for his Irish step dancing.

7th Worst Sports cliché: Manny Being Manny
There are two things I hate about the phrase "Manny being Manny", referring to Red Sox outfielder Manny Ramirez. The first is this, who else would Manny Ramirez be? Saying Manny is being Manny is like saying "in case you didn't know the baseball is a type of ball." Second, the only reason people say "that's Manny being Manny" is because they don't have the guts to say what they really mean and that is sometimes Manny Ramirez is a real assclown.

6th Worst Sports cliché: It's Mental
All the time commentators tell us that this is a mental game and there is some mental parts of every game. But really almost all sports are only a little mental game and mostly physical. If mental ability were more important than physical ability then my Florida Gators football team would lose to Vanderbilt every season now wouldn't they?

5th Worst Sports cliché: They came to play
Really? The baseball player came to play baseball? The football players came to play football? I had no idea.
