Awful. It's also funny how often he uses cliches but doesn't bold them because he's not thinking about it... A bit hypocritical. |

What's Gene Collier's idea of a good announcer?
"The quarterback takes the ball from the center. He steps backward two yards. He takes one hand off the ball and holds it out in the air. The running back has stepped up and clutched the ball. He propels himself, until he collides with the defensive lineman. He falls to the ground which means he is down by contact. That concludes first down"

I saw someone copy this style of article on MSNBC.com, I think it was, for something about health care and I was kindof mad Collier didn't get credit for the author ripping off his format.

I think I might have mentioned this in threads about prior Trite Trophies, but this is a classic clip of Collier's NFL Draft story someone put on youtube.
The "movie" is pointless...but the audio is great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oU4GxyIM9L0

Bumping...the column always comes out the final Sunday of the year, so we'll learn the 2010 winner tomorrow.
Any guesses or early favorites?

Dunno if Splash Play has ever been mentioned, but that would be my suggestion.

"At The End of the Day" won. This expression has been played out for a decade, can't believe it wins now. Trite Trophy: A cliche for all (sporting) seasons |

I had never heard the term "Casino Blitz" used until recently. Aka, "They're ALL-IN!" Casino Blitz is my early pick for 2011.

I would have put all my money on "It's a process." That seems to be hot phrase in sports right now -- everything's a freakin' process.
