How do you handle "You Know?"

Sports Journalists Forum – Media, Newsroom & Reporting Talk

Help Support Sports Journalists Forum:

In a single post-fight interview with Max Kellerman a couple of years ago, welterweight Andre Berto popped "You know" in there 26 times.

It still wasn't as funny as this from Zab Judah:

 
How about the phrase "like I said"?

I swear, I'll go talk to a coach and, on my first question, they'll use that phrase.

Me: "Coach, what's your reaction to the fact that your star player just got caught ****ing a moose?"
Coach: "Well, like I said, sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some".

What?
 
Clean up the quotes. We don't have space to waste, you know, on people's nervous ticks and throat clears.
 
I'm against changing wannas to want tos and gonnas to going tos, but I am not wasting 40 of my 800 words on ums and you knows.
