"I just wanted to go out and play hard, and give 110%".

tennesseebanker · May 7, 2006 11:25AM

We're taking it one game at a time.

Carew29 · May 7, 2006 11:29AM

"There's no excuses...they whipped us on both sides of the ball...give credit to the other team. They were ready to play and they got after us. They took it right to us...we got into a hole we couldn't dig ourselves out of."

This should win for most usage of cliches in two sentences.

Theres no "I" in team.

Southerncards · May 7, 2006 11:36AM

I did not now, or ever knowingly or intentionally use any banned substance.

Axtell · May 7, 2006 11:38AM

<< <i>Theres no "I" in team. >>

But as Leoon says, there sure is a 'me'.

Some other goodies:

'We left it all out on the field/court/whatever'
'You can't teach that'
'he's helping his own cause' (pitcher getting a hit/rbi)

mkg809 · May 7, 2006 11:58AM

They are well-coached........

It's not about winning or losing, it's about how you play the game

Centering L/R looks a little borderline for a PSA 10.

lawnmowerman · May 7, 2006 1:40PM

"I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children!"

Your order is in process....

Good one!

How about "20 day guaranteed service"

yawie99 · May 7, 2006 2:14PM

dripping with gloss

ajmoeller81 · May 7, 2006 2:18PM

He's got plenty of upside.
His motor is always running.
He's got the intangibles we're looking for.
He's got a good work ethic.

Southerncards · May 7, 2006 7:10PM

Pack fresh!
Near mint corners!
A certain PSA 10!

ArnyVee · May 7, 2006 9:41PM

zef204 · May 8, 2006 6:27AM

That's why we play the games.
When these two teams get together you can throw out their records.
Just watching him is worth the price of admission.
We shocked the world.

zef204 · May 8, 2006 6:37AM

He reminds me of a young John Elway.

"Texas Leaguer"

zef204 · May 8, 2006 11:50AM

He's in a slump and he's pressing.
He can tie it up with one swing of the bat.
We're glad to get out of here with the "W".

Downtown1974 · May 8, 2006 11:56AM

The all time greatest cliche after a loss - "Well, you've got to give credit to the other team."

Seraph · May 9, 2006 3:42AM

"GUARANTEED!!!"

Boopotts · May 13, 2006 1:19PM

One that I almost forgot.

"Overall I'm pleased", usually employed in a 'grades popped' post after a guy gets totally ass-hammered on a submission and has no worldly chance of ever recouping the grading fees.

NewJerseyMeatHook · May 13, 2006 2:09PM

Blazer Cards
Razor-Sharp Corners
Pack-Fresh

All the douche bag descriptions written for those big-boy auction catalogs.

They're beautiful cards, for crissakes. Leave it at that.

DaBigHurt · May 13, 2006 2:18PM

When referring to white players:

"He's a gritty, gutty player."
"He's a hard worker and has a great work ethic."
"He's an intense player and a high motor guy."
"He's a fundamentally sound and cerebral player."
"He plays the game the way it should be played."
"He's a gym rat."
