"THEY CAME TO PLAY!"

My brother maintains a list of sports cliches but I seldom hear them on television because I seldom watch any sports. However, yesterday I was in a "CAPTIVE AUDIENCE" during THE O.S.U. football game and the sports commentator actually uttered the phrase about N.I.U.: "THEY CAME TO PLAY!"

I screamed with delight and immediately called my brother to tell him I'd heard THE cliche! He chuckled and said, "ONE GAME AT A TIME; you should watch "Bull Durham" where Kevin Costner tells Tim Robbins all the sports cliches."
