It seems to me that there has been a recent uptick in football broadcasters' use of the word analytics.

It always makes me laugh that they are bragging about being a state university.

Don’t get me wrong, there are certainly good public schools, but bragging about being THE one in Ohio is sort of like being the tallest midget in the class. It’s not like they are an Ivy League school. Get over yourselves!

They are ranked behind Duke and Stanford and ahead of UNC and Harvard (an Ivy League school that you think so much of) as a research University. So it isn’t just sports that you are totally ignorant of.

Haha. Saw a player last night say “The” as his school during player introductions. I’m assuming he was referring to Ocryo St.

Physical/Physicality. Just say bigger, stronger and meaner if that is what you mean.

In interviews it has to “absolutely,” which is cool-dude-slurred into “assluly.”
It’s downright uncomfortable to watch someone overuse a word that badly.
