I agree!!
3 for 3. Pick six stays. I won't ask the same question again (but I am interested to see what the proposed problem with pick six is). I actually don't mind man cave either. Honestly, I would love to have one to get away every once in a while.
Edit: At the time I started writing, there were only two other posts. Got up, checked on my son in the tub, and this thread just blew up. Kind of surprising actually.
It is overused. I don't have a problem with "insider" jargon, but when every idiot announcer in the free world uses it, the term gets old. Mind you, I have no problem with Michigan intercepting a lot of balls and running them back for TDs. In fact, I'd give the announcer a pass in that case.
Similar to "What happens in (insert whatever locale you wish) stays in (repeat)." I wish for that to die.
Or the "only in Ohio, does it _________"
When it is exactly the same in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana.....etc.
like weather
... and they're all fucking awesome.
Or complaining about the unpredictability or general unpleasentness of the weather in [whatever locale you happen to hail from]. No, you don't have it worse than everyone else. Except Mt. Washington. If you're one of the sixish people who happen to live on top, you're totally entitled.
You're not upset about the term itself. It is the fact that people never hyphenate it that bothers you.
I love Dick Vitale, but pretty much everything Dick Vitale says.
Thanks grandpa.
I watched the Colts versus Saints SuperBowl in my man cave and was super butthurt when Peyton threw the pick six to Tracey Porter; I knew he was going to score the ball.

Think outside the box.
Epic.
Some of those are still good - you just need to think outside the box
What an epic reply!
for "epic" below.
Or perhaps we need not to ban "epic", but to simply use it in its proper context. The Oddyssey is epic; that half court shot you made last week in a pickup basketball game is not.
In the Red Zone.

Factor back and bell cow can die in a fire
Combining "bro" with every word in the english language. Sometimes it works and can be funny, but most of the times it is forced and stupid.
Look at you politicking over here Broseph Lieberman
Interception, touchdown
God bless coach, but I cringe every time he uses this word when talking about football.
Physicality is a better choice.
I hear what your saying, but often coach speak does not make sense grammatically. I hear other coaches constantly throw terms at me that are not even real words. I do not mind this one just based off the context. Does it make him look a little blue collar to the average fan, of course. It fits his personality well though, for the better of course.
I hear that word used every single game I watch. It's gotta go
...why not get ride all words.
We should get rid of all words. I mean, isn't the human race supposed to have evolved mental telepathy by now? WTF?
Stupid, slow-ass, natural selection.
I know it's a phrase, but I still think it deserves a ticket to the gas chamber.
"Dude's a beast."
Cold War
Physicality-- is it even a word? Even if it is, still used WAY too much
Physicalness is not
P.S. I am not a crackpot.
Nothing wrong with that. Got a better way of easily defining an interception that gets returned for a TD? Instead of eliminating terms we need to be making new ones, specifically one for stupid posters who create even stupider threads.
Yea i'm on board with all of them but pick six.
Pick six is here to stay.
When you are making a mixed pack, pick six is most certainly acceptable.

Drinking the kool-aid. I can't be the only one who thinks of tragedy, victimization, exploitation, and unspeakable evil when I hear that. I can't imagine what would convince somebody that would be a funny or cool thing to say. I'm looking at you, Wilbon.
..can't be serious
White Night! Drink up...Love, Jim Jones
Nothing is epic anymore.
"Stay classy, ______"
Swag, YOLO, and "greatest ever" should be eliminated. Butt hurt is stupid, but pick six and man cave don't bother me at all.
A player gets a rest or comes out of a game for a "blow"
As in [High School kid's name] is a stud (or going to be a stud). It strikes me as quite creepy. Fortunately I don't see that here too often. It's more of "a balls-dangling-from-a-trailer-hitch thing"...that is to say, Ohio.
