You just gotta love listening to athletes speak

[Underdog07]

I was listening to sports talk in Boston and this Patriot defensive back kept using the word physicality. Is that a word? What does "ality" add to a word? Can one have intelligality? If so, that is so me. It compliments my speedicism.

Yes, it is a word and I'm guessing that particular player used in in the right context.

"physicality  –noun, plural -ties.

1. the physical attributes of a person, esp. when overdeveloped or overemphasized.

2. preoccupation with one's body, physical needs, or appetites."

I hate it when they get football players as announces who are not well-spoken at all (e.g. Deion Sanders, who only seems t talk about himself, and tony siragusa, whatever he is saying).

[sellin71]

"rich people don't write checks. Straight cash homey." -Randy Moss after being asked if he'll cut a check for his "mooning" fine

He should have said, "Thugs don't write checks. People are afraid that you will close the account before they can cash them."

[Underdog07]

He should have said, "Thugs don't write checks. People are afraid that you will close the account before they can cash them."

Or he could have been honest and asked "How do you spell Randy?"

Here's one from Edgerrin James following their lose to the Rams yesterday.

"It's crazy. It's ridiculous," he said. "We've got to do something different. If we want different results, we've got to do something different. There's something we're not doing right. I don't know. I'm just doing my job. We've got to do something different. I don't know what it is."

Actually this weekend on HBO boxing lenox lewis was trying to say Inebriated to describe the boxer who was wobbling into the corner and didn'e have his legs under him. MAx kellerman finally helped him out with a small laugh and said don't you mean inebriated and lewis responded laughing and that too. In his defense he is a very well spoken former heavy weight. Just a funny moment.
