    I watched three college basketball games today on TV and I bet I have heard the term "Bigs" used at least 200 times. This has to be the most over-used phrase in basketball and I'm sick of it. Please, never, ever, use it when writing a column, feature or quoting someone.

    It's awful. God awful. I put the person who invented this new word into a meat grinder or wood chipper. I'm thinking the wood chipper would be more satisfying.

    The word continues to have a lot of upside.
