Or something. In other words — and this whole misbegotten effort has been one long doomed experiment in encouraging the search for other words — you've stumbled upon the 41st annual rendering of the Trite Trophy, which dishonors the worst cliché of the year in sports, and sometimes beyond. If that sounds to those still reading like some incorrigible stupidity, we like to think of it around here as a vaguely charming stick-to-itiveness, a construction so favored by Penguins coach Mike Sullivan that on this there is widespread agreement: Ain't no stick-to-itiveness like Mike Sullivan stick-to-itiveness when it comes to stick-to-itiveness. The baddest cliché slingers in sports history all share a certain stick-to-itiveness, something I discovered recently while wobbling into an MLB Network feature on the 1968 World Series between Detroit and St. Louis. Even 56 years in the rear view, the raw audio of the era included the observations that the Tigers, down three games to one, Have Their Backs To The Wall because There Is No Tomorrow, and worse, had Put All Their Eggs In One Basket by going with Mickey Lolich in Game 5. Thinking Outside The Box before that cliché was even invented, they put the very same eggs in the same Lolich container three days later and wound up absconding with All The Marbles. Fast-forward 56 years, and Mike Tomlin is still talking marbles, describing on his pregame show this week a situation when "all the marbles are on the table." I'm not sure playing marbles on a table is optimal, even in a Hostile Environment, but Mike, You Do You. Once they're in the bloodstream, sports clichés never go away. As we've learned so painfully about our linguistic and etymological habits, It Is What It Is, even if that's the stupidest cliché of all time, in or out of sports, and as such the only two-time winner of the Trite Trophy. Could we see a Three-Peat? In a column about cliché avoidance? Nope. Not with sports constantly mainlining updated nonsense that seems to calcify into cliché status almost overnight, much in the way baseball has elevated High Leverage Situation to a spot where commentators seem compelled to use it any time anything might actually, you know, happen. This is anathema to baseball, seems to me, as the beauty of it is that you can lose a game on the first pitch. While I'm at it, RIP Rickey Henderson, who hit 81 homers as his team's first batter of the game, which does not seem low leverage in any way. BTW, do the game's best hitters still Rake? Because I'm hearing about a lot of guys who Mash. Pitchers who keep wandering into those High Leverage Situations risk throwing something that Caught Too Much Of The Plate, resulting in a bat catching too much of the ball, triggering a Go Ball with some frightening Exit Velocity. As former Pirates great Steve Blass likes to tell fans, the only time he thinks of Exit Velocity is when he's on the toilet. Lest anyone stand accused of Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud, the Trite Trophy Committee (me) acknowledges a bias toward football with the annual award, but only in the way that Oscars tend to favor the more recently released films. Baseball's myriad clichés and those from the other sports just aren't as annoying In The Moment, or just aren't Clicking On All Cylinders. You really don't want your cylinders to be clicking, anyway, so the persistence of that reflex Defies Logic. Further, football suffers no shortage of commentators trying to Force The Issue, as when Matt Millen this fall praised Penn State running back Kaytron Allen for "running behind his pads." Hard to run out in front of them, but I took this to mean Allen was Getting Downhill, which I'm told is what you want to do even though every football field looks flat as a puddle to me. For spontaneous invention of fresh football terminology, few can match the sheer creativity, if not Sheer Athleticism, of the great Steelers radio color man Craig Wolfley. Describing a play on which linebacker Mark Robinson forced a fumble against the Ravens, Wolf called Robinson "twitchier than a sneeze" and always ready to pounce, "like a cat in a rat factory." There's a rat factory? Wolf also said that a run by Najee Harris was the result of "pure ham-hock strength and lower-back leverage." See? A Low Leverage Situation. We've somehow reached the point in the big show when we award the annual Mixologist Medal, which goes to the person who inadvertently started dealing one cliché but finished another, as when Hines Ward once said, "they'll have their hands cut out for them," or "you have to take off your hat and hand it to them." Steelers analyst Chris Hoke was a nominee this year for saying Mason Rudolph got "the raw end of the stick," not to be confused with the short end of the deal, and former Pirates pitcher Jeff Karstens countered with the observation that Paul Skenes "has a big enough name that he'll put seats in the stands." But the medal goes reluctantly to Fox analyst Tom Brady. Though the mix was perhaps minimal, Brady managed to put two sleepy clichés back to back with his observation that the Ravens are "absolute sleeping giants," as opposed to the hypothetical sleeping giants, and that "you can't sleep on this team." So congrats to the GOAT, even as he's putting me to sleep. That Guy Is A Dog emerged as a cliché this football season, as well as That Guy Is A Problem, a fresher version of You've Got To Account For Him. Don't much know what to make of all that, except it reminds me of something I once heard in the neighborhood: That Guy Has A Dog Who Is A Problem! I'd tell you confidently that no such cliché holds a chance against Iconic, but Iconic has itself become such a cliché that All Bets Are Off. Iconic, just in this year, attached itself to everything from ice balls to sandwiches to space telescopes, just about everything but icons. Just saying that maybe we want to Tap The Brakes on Iconic is all. Same goes for You Can't Say Enough About whom or whatever, even as the person speaking is trying his damnedest to say enough about whom or whatever. We're approaching the moment just about no one has been waiting for, so before we introduce our 2024 finalists and the cliché that will take the whole nine-yard ball of wax, we acknowledge a few annoyances that were In The Discussion. What the heck is a Rising Junior anyway? Someone who is going to be a junior in college at some point, if you can find him In The Portal? At that stage of life, I remembering being more a floundering sophomore than a Rising Junior. No consideration was given to Moonball, a long pass from Russell Wilson apparently, even if the Steelers quarterback has been quite forthcoming on its backstory. His deep accuracy has earned the praise of coach Tomlin: "He can drop it into your right front shirt pocket, if you will," to quote the HC. I will, but most shirt pockets are on the left, and no football jerseys have pockets, which you know because guys would be whipping cell phones out of those Early And Often. Now a very Special Shout Out to all of the horrid clichés in our live audience here at Stage TT (snort) and especially to some our past winners. Great to see you Shy Of The First Down, Short Of The Line To Gain, Goin' Up Top (never down bottom), Put This Team On His Back, Extend The Play With His Legs, Create Plays With His Legs, Slow To Get Up (like me), Overcoming Adversity, Look In The Mirror, 50-50 Ball, That Thing Parted Like The Red Sea, That's Gonna Get Called Every Time, Red Zone, Crunch Time, Gut Check, He Went To The Well Once Too Often, Smash-mouth Football, Manage The Game, and Don't You Dare Tell Me I Forgot One Because I Simply Lack The Time And Space Besides If I Could Forget Even One I Wouldn't Have Been Doing This For 41 Years! Here are our finalists, beginning with our second runner-up: Late Hands. One of the freshest clichés of 2024, Late Hands is getting invoked with burgeoning frequency as a way to explain that a pass catcher needn't indicate to his defender with his hands or arms that a football is on the way. He should instead use Late Hands. Hey, I Get It. The first runner-up: Climb The Pocket. This inane construction (formerly Step Up In The Pocket) was an Absolute Beast in 2024 but remains perfectly useless except perhaps as a salve for the football commentators' obsession with Getting Vertical, which is way more critical in basketball. Our winner — and as ever, don't go on the field at the conclusion of the Trite Trophy column — is Pulling Out All The Stops, a cliché so ancient and doggedly undecorated we couldn't bear to see it On The Outside Looking In any longer. It's as ubiquitous today as when it was created in the late 15th century, when stops were first employed on pipe organs, even if they were not in the original game plan of offensive coordinator Ctesibius of Alexandria, who invented pipe organs a few millennia earlier. Teams are still Pulling Out All The Stops, which I gather means making every possible effort and calling on all resources, though it's literally from the Greek meaning Geez That Organ Is Loud!

Trap lies in way of building blueprint THE Government’s overhaul of planning is vital to fast-track new housing. The Sun has long argued for a bonfire of the bureaucratic red tape that has been choking any opportunity to build homes . But tearing up planning rules is only the start. Sir Keir Starmer ’s admirably ambitious target to build 1.5 million homes by 2029 requires an eye-watering amount of resources. Builders estimate that 300,000 new construction workers will have to be hired. They say that 900 homes a day will need to be built — more than one every two minutes. How will Sir Keir do that without turning on the tap of yet more migrant labour ? READ MORE FROM SUN SAYS Foreign workers would also need homes to live in, piling yet more pressure on housing stock and driving up already sky-high prices. One problem is our woeful training of homegrown talent . The apprentice scheme needs a rocket under it to attract and prepare many more young Brits for construction roles. For too long it has been abused by firms and is not fit for purpose. At the same time, the Government must force more of the workshy off their sofas and into training. Most read in The Sun Even then it will take years before skilled tradespeople will be ready. But the clock is ticking for Sir Keir. Unless he rapidly fixes this end of the mess his housing plans will fall down on him like a ton of bricks. Keir's trump cards IT is great to see Prince William gradually emerging as Britain’s head of state in waiting. Yesterday he showed maturity and poise when representing Britain and meeting incoming US President Donald Trump at the reopening of Notre Dame cathedral. The Prince was due to stress the importance of the Special Relationship between the US and Britain. The message could hardly be more timely given the uncertainty around Mr Trump’s foreign and trade policies. King Charles will, of course, play the key role as monarch in any state visit by the US President. A perfect opportunity for this will fall when Mr Trump travels to a Nato summit in the Hague in June. Yet the Prince’s growing confidence in filling in for his father on such sensitive occasions is reassuring. READ MORE SUN STORIES Sir Keir’s own Cabinet ministers have an embarrassing past history of criticising Mr Trump.

In a stunning turn of events, Syrian rebels have ended President Bashar al-Assad's 24-year authoritarian rule following a rapid offensive that took the world by surprise. With Damascus and Homs now under rebel control, the region faces a significant shift in power dynamics. President Assad reportedly fled Damascus to an undisclosed location as celebratory crowds took to the streets, chanting 'Freedom' after decades of Assad family rule. The fall is seen as a massive blow to Russia and Iran, who have long supported Assad, losing a strategic ally in the Middle East. The opposition promises a new era while international stakeholders express concerns about potential upheaval. As the rebellion's momentum grows, the world watches closely amid fears of further instability in an already volatile region.

The stage belonged to Lindsey Vonn, the 40-year-old who took another step on her comeback trail Saturday with her first races in nearly six years. Vonn wasn't particularly speedy and finished in the middle of the pack on a cold but sunny day at Copper Mountain. Times and places weren't the mission, though, as much as getting used to the speed again and gaining the necessary points to compete on the World Cup circuit this season. Vonn accomplished both, finishing 24th in the first downhill race of the day and 27th in the second. She posted on social media after the FIS races that she had enough points to enter World Cup events. The timing couldn't be more perfect — the next stop on the women's circuit is Beaver Creek, Colorado, in a week. Vonn, who used to own a home in nearby Vail, hasn't committed to any sort of timetable for a World Cup return. “Today was a solid start and I had a blast being in start with my teammates again!” Vonn wrote on X. “While I’m sure people will speculate and say I’m not in top form because of the results, I disagree. This was training for me. I’m still testing equipment and getting back in the groove.” Lindsey Vonn reacts after her run at a downhill skiing race at Copper Mountain Ski Resort on Saturday in Copper Mountain, Colo. Her competition — a veritable who's who of high-profile ski racers — applauded her efforts. “I don't expect her to come back and win — just that she comes back and she has fun,” said Federica Brignone of Italy, a former overall World Cup champion and three-time Olympic medalist. “She's having fun, and she’s doing what she loves. That’s the best thing that she could do.” In the first race on a frigid morning, Vonn wound up 1.44 seconds behind the winning time of 1 minute, 5.79 seconds posted by Mirjam Puchner of Austria. In her second race through the course later in the morning, Vonn was 1.53 seconds behind Cornelia Huetter of Austria, who finished in 1:05.99. Huetter is the reigning season-long World Cup downhill champion. “It’s really nice to compare with her again, and nice to have her (racing) again,” Huetter said. “For sure, for the skiing World Cup, we have a lot of more attention. It's generally good for all racers because everyone is looking.” Also in the field were Nadia Delago of Italy, who won a bronze medal in downhill at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, and Puchner, the Olympic silver winner in super-G in Beijing. In addition, there was Marta Bassino of Italy, a winner of the super-G at the 2023 world championships, and two-time Olympic champion Michelle Gisin of Switzerland. “For me, it was really a training, but it was fun to have a World Cup race level right here,” Gisin said. “It was a crazy race.” Vonn remains a popular figure and took the time after each run to sign autographs for young fans along with posing for photos. Lindsey Vonn competes in a downhill skiing race at Copper Mountain Ski Resort on Saturday in Copper Mountain, Colo. When she left the sport, Vonn had 82 World Cup race victories, which stood as the record for a woman and within reach of the all-time Alpine record of 86 held by Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark. The women’s mark held by Vonn was surpassed in January 2023 by Mikaela Shiffrin, who now has 99 wins — more than any Alpine ski racer in the history of the sport. Shiffrin is currently sidelined after a crash in a giant slalom event in Killington, Vermont, last weekend. Vonn’s last major race was in February 2019, when she finished third in a downhill during the world championships in Sweden. The three-time Olympic medalist left the circuit still near the top of her game. But all the broken arms and legs, concussions and torn knee ligaments took too big a toll and sent her into retirement. She had a partial knee replacement last April and felt good enough to give racing another shot. “It's very impressive to see all the passion that Lindsey still has,” Gisin said. Also racing Saturday was 45-year-old Sarah Schleper, who once competed for the United States but now represents Mexico. Schleper was the next racer behind Vonn and they got a chance to share a moment between a pair of 40-somethings still racing. “I was like, ‘Give me some tips, Lindsey,’” Schleper said. “She’s like, ‘Oh, it’s a highway tuck, the whole thing.’ Then she’s like, ‘It’s just like the good old days.’" Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, foreground right, dives toward the end zone to score past San Francisco 49ers defensive end Robert Beal Jr. (51) and linebacker Dee Winters during the second half of an NFL football game in Orchard Park, N.Y., Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024.
