Title: High Profile Lax Recruit
Post by: scoop85 on April 03, 2008, 08:06:24 AM
It's nice to see we beat out some of the "big boys" for a top recruit (although we've done quite well with our "no names" in recent years ;-))

Is anyone else getting tired of athletes using the word "unbelievable" to describe people who are doing a great job?

Yes.  In fact, I contend it is the most overused word in sports media, and is doing so in a very under-the-radar way.  Far too many things in sports are called "unbelievable" by talking heads and the press in general.  

If you start paying attention to how many things are incapable of being believed, one has to wonder if sports even exist.

"This ship is is surrounded by the entire United States' 7th fleet"
"I find that hard to believe, Mr. Smart."
"Would you believe the sixth fleet?"
"No."
"How about two cub scouts in a dingy?"
