Shouldn't it be..."I think therefore I think I am?" yes, and shouldn't it be "I think... therefore i think, "I think I am"..... it's an ad nauseum infinitely looping semantic cluster!@#$ of I-ness that was only brought to divine completion when Tedy Bruschi took the football field in the late 20th and the WORD became ONE with the Godhead once more...

And it's only used when the sportscaster/person can't think of something to say or misreads his notes or the cue cards.

Shouldn't it be..."I think therefore I think I am?" Actually, it makes perfect sense in that because he was able to think, he was able to confirm his existence. It was along the lines of Satre who believed "To do is to be." And somewhat counter to Socrates' belief that "To be is to do." It all, of course, centered around Sinatra, who said "Do be do be do." I'll stick with Sinatra.

dib Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 taterhill said: and why does EVERYONE in sports use it now.... because they also use terms like "trickeration" and "athleticism" The latter to describe ability.
crazyDingo Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 "It is what it is" is the opposite of the Athlete's other favorite quote, "Uh, this isnt how it looks (Honey)(Officer)(Coach)"
Adam Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Didn't Macho Man Randy Savage use that one back in the 1980's after he beat Tito Santana for the Intercontinental championship? Man, Savage held that belt for a long time......then he cheap shotted Steamboat

BuffOrange Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Ramius said: its almost as overused as the "we dont get any respect" card. Woah - lets not get crazy here. Quote Urlacher said that the bears have been underdogs all season long, and only favored when they are home and even then, onyl favored by 2.5 points. News check brian: the bears were favored in 16 of 18 games they played this season. The ONLY homegame where they were favored by as little as 2.5 was the saints game last week. Ha, yeah it's pretty lame. Sad thing is it actually works on the players; or else coaches wouldn't preach it all the time.
