Steelhead Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I don't like hearing the sportscasters talk about walk-off fgs, TDs, etc in football. It's a baseball term and I'm tired of hearing about it. If I wanted to hear baseball ling I'd watch baseball. Anyone else like hearing it used?

CD6405 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 there can be walk off tds, in overtime. You score it, then walk off and don't kick the XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heydave76 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Egh! I don't like it. But I do think they should call home runs touchdowns. The football lingo might make me watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD6405 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 As a Eagles fan, I hate hearing it....becoming all to familiar. I like the term "Final second heartbreaker" better than walk off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Rick James Bitch Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I gotta agree, baseball term all the way. I really don't see the point in the NFL copying anything from MLB. Watching MLB is like watching old people have sex. I got another one for you, why is it when someone gets a bruise or a spot that hurts in there upper body do they refer to it as a "Stinger". Who invented that term anyway. How come you can't get a "Stinger" in your leg or your hip. If you get hurt there it is then called a "Pointer" I think the guy who invented "Stinger" and "Pointer" is the same guy that has brought "walk off" to the NFL. And that guy sucks!

They aren't bruises. A stinger is an injury that affect the nerves in the neck and arms. It happens when the neck is suddenly forced to rotate or tilt excessively. Impact can also cause a stinger. You will know if you have a stinger if you fee burning or stinging in the area of the neck, shoulders and/or arms. Contact sports such as football often cause injuries resulting in stingers. A hip pointer injury is extremely painful, acute injury to the iliac crest of the pelvis. The injury causes bleeding into the abdominal muscles, which attach to the iliac crest. The bone and overlying muscle are often bruised, and the pain can be intense. Pain may be felt when walking, laughing, coughing, or even breathing deeply. They CAN be bruised, but that is not what it only is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Actually, I want to konw when the term 'walk off' started in baseball. I don't ever remember hearing that as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 I got it: It started in 1988 and attained widespread use in the late 90's and early 00's. link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Rick James Bitch Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 As an A's fan, I knew that Dennis Eckersley had much to do with the term, but I don't remember him scoring a "walk off touchdown". He may have had a "stinger" or a "pointer" at some,,,, err,,,point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Good info here. If you ever get a "stinger" you will never forget the feeling. As a recepiant of a neck stinger in high school football, I can strongly agree with this statment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitem0nkey Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) what about in baseball when the final score is 13-3, and they say they won by a TD and a field goal? Edited October 24, 2006 by whitem0nkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
