KD in CA Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 At least it's accurate. Everybody walks (or skates) off the field at the end of every sporting event regardless of how it ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Everybody walks (or skates) off the field at the end of every sporting event regardless of how it ended. I've got to get up and get something to eat. So this is a walk-off post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty soon we'll have the "walk-off ground out to short". I've even heard it used outside of baseball this year. I heard ESPN use the phrase, "walk off touchdown" and "walk off field goal" when they were scored after time expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying you'd like to see the phrase "skate-off" used more frequently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard ESPN use the phrase, "walk off touchdown" and "walk off field goal" when they were scored after time expired. I'm starting to hear it in other sports, too. "Walk-off triple axel." "Walk-off discovered check." "Walk off three-bid no trump." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm starting to hear it in other sports, too. "Walk-off triple axel." "Walk-off discovered check." "Walk off three-bid no trump." I remember some announcer using it for one of the NFL games this year, but I can't remember the context. Probably one of the overtime games.

I guess the Rams and Chargers are going to be walk-off franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I guess the Rams and Chargers are going to be walk-off franchises. The phrase would be a lot better and tolerable if it was "fukk off" instead of "walk off." Like I would fully and continually support any announcer who just said "The game ended with a fukk off homerun." It's like F-U money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 "The hoop and the harm" Our local TV sports wannabe broadcasters say that when they give basketball highlights and a player makes a shot while being fouled. Once was ok, but they work it in multiple times per broadcast. Enough! "BillsMafia" I may be unpopular for saying this, but this annoys me. I could go on about racial stereotypes, etc., but I just find it immature, unimaginative, inappropriate, embarrassing, and just plain dumb.
