Great words in sports

I both love and hate the sport rhetoric that athletes spew before, during and after games. It's as if they've all taken some horrible communications course and now are physically unable to say anything tangible.

We have to take it to a whole 'nother level.

We/they/I/he/she really stepped up.

I love these two phrases because, really, you have to step up to go to a whole other level. Unless you have some kind of athletic elevator. Maybe that's what the StairMaster is really for?

One game at a time.

Play within yourself.

It a 60 minute game.

REALLY?!?!? If I owned a sports team I would be pretty discouraged with my players if I had to constantly remind them of the length of the game.

However, if I were an athlete making millions of dollars, I might be tempted to play 3 games at a time, within the guy next to me for only 17 minutes.

Personally, I think I would have made a great hockey player. Check this out.

"Yeah, I think that uuhh the guys really left it all out on the uhhh ice and we put in a pretty good uhhh preformance. We capitalized on our opportunities and uhhh really took advantage of the momentum swings in the uhhhh game. I think that as long as uuhhhh we give it 100% and really keep hungry we'll uhhhh put some solid numbers up on the board and continue to keep the momentum on our uhhhh side."

Lastly, what exactly does 'tremendous upside' mean?
