Overused words that won't be missed after the draft

There are certain overused words or phrases on this site that get way out of control way to much. Any of them that bother you? I will start (and mine will disappear after draft day thank god)

smoke screen.

Matty Ice (ok I have 2 sorry, but they are equally as annoying).

1. "Mark these words." Uhh, mark them for what exactly, people?

2. "high motor"

 

[PogiRo]

High motor was the first thing that came to mind.

And yes, Matty Ice is the dumbest nickname I have ever heard. I'd take a lot of wrestling names over "Matty Ice". Whoever actually uses this phrase should be ashamed.

 

[oasis]

"he's a beast."

 

[zachequalsgod]

I've got the winner right here, it is by far the most overused phrase on this entire site:

"That being said"

 

[ShaBam]

I'm so, so...soooo....sick of seeing "smoke screen" on this site.

 

[arsenal]

"dont believe anything you hear at draft time"

 

[209Mason]

Oh man... This was the first thing I thought of.

He has all the "intangibles"

WTF!? If you can't name them, and they're not measureable... then don't talk about them. It seems more often than not that the experts using the phrase are just using it to cover up thier man-crush on a player.

 

[miamitd13]

how about - "skill set" :D

 

[Farmer]

-stock is rising/falling

 

[burger13]

training camp fodder

 

[retired opfinistic]

slippery soap

 

[baddraft07]

relative to ( saban) good family man or blank and his family (cam)

 

[FinFrenzy]

and or the are words used alot but seriously the word value comes to mind. Everytime I hear it I can't help but think, only certain teams scout players. Or it is used when no other reasonable sane comment can be made why a team selected a certain player.


Ofcourse the Jets drafts have nothing to do with the above description.

Combine, Kiper, Cottam
