Is this beat writer trying too hard?

We've used a few different terms for that one over the years, but that works.

 

The word "tuddy", instead of touchdown, has been creeping into the Twitter posts of NFL and college football reporters.

 

"Gitch" is another term largely associated with hockey

 

Being from the region that brought us the excellent Junior Hockey Bible, you probably usually hear the word "donkey" followed by "punch."

 

JFC. Not even a word.

 

I'm reminded when everyone started using "QB1" for the starter, because it was used on "Friday Night Lights" ... until it was learned no one in football uses that term. So of course I hear it now and then on the WWL.

 

Ah, memories.....

 

You sound like Letterkenny.

 

No, they sound like me. And I will say this: those guys have that Jr. B player model down pat. That's exactly what it's like.

 

I think the two hockey kids are actual hockey kids. One's the son of an NHLer, I believe. I can't remember which.

 

Believe it's Larry Playfair.

 

Ya think?
