    The scary part is that they're missing some of the best Bobby Knight shit because it's too controversial:

    - "We put his dick in a vise. I twisted it. We stuck a red-hot poker up his ass and poured hot water down his mouth and I told him if he promised to play well, we'd quit all that."

    - "If rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it."

    One I really hate, which isn't really a cliche, would be when players are interviewed and they say "you know" about a dozen times. why tell us something we already know. Be insightful. Or if you are telling us something we don't know...then don't say "you know" every 5 seconds.

    "you know" isn't particularly a sports thing, unfortunately, y'know.

    The one that gets me is people talking about how it's a "positive thing" when they lose. NEWSFLASH YOU FUCKERS -- YOU LOST!!!!! DEAL WITH IT!!!!!

    Calling someone "a leader on and off the court" gets to me too.

    "He's a guy that just makes plays".
    Find a new slant.

    Hearing 110% always reminds me of the classic "11" scene from Spinal Tap, which doesn't bug me much:

    The most annoying cliche to me for the last two days has been the bashing of Nick Saban.
    Yes, sportswriters are now the Moral Police.
    I'm sorry, 32 Mill for 8 years to coach college, or, well, the same money to coach in the NFL and deal with the shit the pros thow at you is an easy choice for me.
    Look at the mess that is NFL Player: Tank Johnson, Ray Lewis, Terrell Owens, and this Denver Broncos player getting shot at a nightclub at 3 AM.
    Leave Saban alone already, I don't understand how pro coaches don't go batty after a year or two and kill everyone they know.
    Winning breeds confidence. Losing breeds reality.

    I don't have a problem with him leaving, but why did he say the media shouldn't be asking him about leaving because he's definately staying? Leave if you want, but his quotes a couple weeks ago seem pretty shady now.
