permanently retire the phrase "chip on his shoulder" from sports. Commentators and players use it constantly, sometimes when it is not even appropriate. Where it was once used only occasionally, it is now part of every discussion. Let it go, please, just let it go.

no need in posting like you have a chip on your shoulder...

Sounds like OP has a chip on his shoulder.

Ok done deal, it is permanently retired.

I wood suggest retiring the phrase "retire the phrase".

Sent thread to ESPN. Should be in effect soon.

I said that phrase a few months ago. I didn't know it would upset you this much.

I'd rather retire the "pump the brakes" saying. Since most frickers on this board never had a car without anti-lock brakes any damn way.

OP seems like he has a chip on his shoulder...
Dammit, late to the party. Sorry.

"Chip on his shoulder" doesn't bother me as much as "overcome adversity." This annoys the bejeezus out of me. Sorry, but playing football, any aspect of it, hardly classifies as adversity. Travel around the world to poor countries like the Philippines or Cambodia - that's real adversity.
I should have read all the posts in this thread before I posted. Glad I'm not the only one who is bothered by this ridiculous phrase.
