What cliché or fallacy are you sick of hearing from the media?

**NCCRavensFan** · 01-10-2012, 03:45 PM

I was watching 1st and 10 this morning, and they were discussing the spread for the games this weekend and whether or not they were too high or too low. Of course, when the ravens-texans game came up everyone thought the spread was too high (at -7.5) and one of their main gripes was that the ravens defense is too old, and "getting older" whatever the hell that means.

You'd think in the 2nd week of the playoffs media personalities would do a little research and I don't know maybe look at a roster sheet to realize most of the ravens starters are under 30.

What cliché gets under your skin every time you hear some loudmouth spout it off on a sports show?

Couldn't agree more.

It has become clear that ESPN has ruined the sports commentary world, and stuck Flacco and the Ravens with a label that will NEVER go away.

You want to know why everyone outside of Baltimore is so uninformed and mislead about us? Just watch that disgrace of a show.

The "aging Ravens defense" is one that I get sick-and-tired of hearing.

Here's another: "The Steeler fans are the best traveling fans in the league."

ESPN's caraciture of the Ravens is legitimate, BTW. Every time the Ravens have played on MNF over the past several years, the game has been a snooze-fest offensively.

In ten Monday night matchups since 2006, the Ravens have only won three..... and only one of those three games had more than 16pts (the 4th qtr comeback win against Houston)

He's unflappable (I've heard it about both of the QBs in this game)

He's a cerebral player. Why not just say he's smart?

**HoustonRaven** · 01-10-2012, 03:52 PM

He's a play maker.

WTF does that even mean?

**PGCountyRaven85** · 01-10-2012, 03:57 PM

"They have to limit big plays!"

"They're a very physical team!"

"They're a blue collar team that plays defense and runs the football" (describing the Steelers)

"The NFC East is the toughest division in the NFL."

'Unleash'

If I hear that term used again by Skip Bayless, I will find him and slap him in the face

Houston -

I have no issue with the term playmaker. You have good players that do their job like a JJ or Cary Williams but playmakers like Ed Reed or Sizzle avisibly affect the outcome of the game with an INT, stop for loss or sack.
