I'm tired of hearing this

reporters who say, 'Talk about X," rather than ask a question.

 

Okay, I'm not a journalist but is "for sure" the first phrase they teach every hockey player? You can get some Euro winger who can barely speak a word of English but when the interviewer says "You guys were having a rough time in the third period" the player inevitably begins his reply with 'for sure'.

Just wondering.

 

Another one:

"They're well-coached."

Always by the other team's coach.

 

beat me to the punch, JR. i hear this one a lot around here, from a certain football coach...

 

Oh man. I interview the coach of a DI program last week that kept combining cliches.

I had the guy on speakerphone so I could tape the interview, and even Dr. J was rolling his eyes.
