History of faddish words to describe CFB players, since around the late-80's...

"yeah, I know, right?" <<<<<<< Another phrase I detest.

It's "sick" for me.

I do remember a time when all the NFL analysts would talk about was how a team needed to get a "marquee player" or a "marquee quarterback" to build their team around and put fans in the stadium.

Please note, this is not to be confused with the Marquis de Sade, nor with Biz Markie.

William Perry had an unreliable motor imho.
