Most Ridiculous Sports Cliches

Announcer says: "The team who scores more points will win this ball game"

A 100% true statement. A 100% ridiculous statement to say.

How about this one: "They're not going to be able to win this game simply by outscoring their opponent."

Really?
 
Cliche is something sounding artistic/good-pun/neat that is repeated way too many times probably making it lose accuracy.
 
My vote for most ridiculous cliche is:

"Teams will be better able to defend the triple option in year 2"
 
But only if they stay in their lanes and play disciplined, assignment defense.
Control the line of scrimmage, make open field tackles, force turnovers, stack the box, cover the edges, blow up plays before they start, hit the QB every play, get ahead early, control the clock, force the pass, stop the run,

and all the other things necessary to stop the New England Patr - errr, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
 
They are going to have to forget that game (or play or whatever) and focus on the next one.
 
"Toe meets leather."

Unless the kicker is a barefoot, shouldn't it be "shoe meets leather" instead? Also, I was unaware that two inanimate objects could meet one another.
