"Generational talent"

How many "generational" talents can there be in a generation? Such a dumb phrase.

I get this and don't really disagree with you.

But every other way to refer to a position group takes more words or longer to say. So we're stuck with the best available shorthand that everyone understands.

I really hate "trickeration" but that one finally seems to be dying off.

The newest one I don't like in football is when they say "take your profit" when referring to a QB passing to his checkdown receiver.
