Bilas and Seth Greenberg are responsible for this as well as "ball screen." I swear to god, I never heard any qualifier before screen until 3 or 4 years ago

This is a common term. As well as back screen, slip screen, and up screen.

So them accurately describing a screen is a bad thing? Ball screen, off ball screen, flare screen, ECT are all terms you will hear at every college basketball practice across the country.

For some reason, that's important. "He's got the good face", etc.

"Catch the football at its highest point" or some variation. Maybe I'm missing something but the football's highest point is at the top of the arc

more pointed toward fans....

I'm wondering when the trend of reacting to sports news that you're madly "fapping" or just jizzed will die out. It's kind of weird, especially when used on the recruiting board.

5 pages and no "adversity" rants?

"We played through a lot of adversity this year...."

"We were faced with lots of adversity this week."

========================================

What about a "high Football / Basketball I.Q."? So you know how to play your sport well? Congrati-fricking-lations. If you made it to D 1 NCAA or the pros I would hope so.

========================================

This team / player / defense plays with "violence." No shite. It's football.
