Should be fun. We also need have rules for cliches announcers use... Each football cliche gets a swig of beer.
Some of my favorite/hated football cliches...
_________ is dangerous in space.
don't let ___________ get to the second level of the defense
look at _______________ playing like he's a rookie again!
______________ can squeeze the ball in tight spaces
it looks like __________ might have forced that throw a bit.
and the kick is..... through the uprights....
bragging rights on the line
when you give __________ time, he'll make you pay
_______________ being covered by a linebacker! That's a mismatch ___________ will win every time.
____________ wishes he could have that throw back.
if ____________, comes down with that ball, he's going for six.
student vs. teacher or some version of that cliche
referring to a veteran as crafty, or a rookie as poised
key words/themes that require swigs: inconclusive evidence, Rodger Goodell, TV timeout, Williams Wall, shots of Jared Allen without his helmet on, anytime Raji sits in front of a fan, special team penalties, Allen Barbre mistakes
announcer specific shot provokers:
references to Ron Jaworski's career, Gruden profanities, Mike Tirico being afraid to interrupt the other two
