What about these sport-speak gems?  Mike Alstot is king of these cliches

• We got to give 110%
  
• We're a bunch of blue collar players, and we bring our lunch boxes to work
  
• The game is won in the trenches, with the linemen digging it against the other team
  
• There is no "i" in team
  
• We're just like everyone else - we put our uniforms on one leg at a time
  
• We just have to play <insert team name> football
  
• We're taking it one game at a time
  
• The home field crowd is our 12th man, and we really need them to show up at the next game
  
• Its a game of inches, and we've got to get as many as possible with each possession
  
• There is 60 minutes in a game, and we have to play a complete 60 minute game
  
• The intangibles are the key to the game
  
• The season is a marathon - not a sprint - so we are taking it one game at a time
  
• We need heros on the team, so someone has to step up and make plays
  
• Running the ball up the gut is our bread-and-butter offense
  
• We can only win when we stick to the fundamentals and eliminate the mental mistakes
  
• No matter what our record is, we are playing for pride
  
• etc
  
• etc
  
• etc

"We're just not in synch" by Tony Dungy  is my favorite cliche.

I want to call up and ask Alstott, or any Buc player for that matter, when does he think they will beat a team with a winning record. Its amazing how confident they are with nothing behind them to back it up.

Just how else would you expect them, or any other athlete with a lick of pride, to be??

Angry and focused on improving, not smug and confident that everything is fine and will right itself.
