Glossary

The Lig: n, Interchangable for the NFL or the RGIOQB Fantasy League. Transliteration of the now endangered Rust Belt oral tradition, spoken by so many of football's heroes and foils througout the ages, and also by semi-retarded TV commentators.

Hangin' from a strang: v, to be in danger of missing the playoffs. Coined by Eddie Kennison in a largely forgotten rant against Denver head coah Mike Shannahan, who referred to Kennison's Chiefs as "11-1 frauds".

Slim at the Waist: n, the nickname of Denver RB Selvin Young. When NFL scouts arrived in Austin to evaluate Young, the first thing they noticed was his prefectly formed physique, with broad shoulders tapering to a narrow, tight waist. Interestingly, many scouts rejected his viability as an NFL performer on sight, insisting that he lacked the center of gravity to break tackles at the highest levels. One year into his career, the jury's still out on his effectiveness as an RB, but one thing is for sure: the man looks damn good in a uniform.

Size in your face: n, An exhibition of superiority in any context, be it physical, inellectual, or other. E.g. David Tyree's famouns "helmet catch" in Super Bowl XLII was straight size in your face. Danial Day-Lewis's performance in My Left Foot: some serious size in your face. The Houston 500...you get the idea.

Dunk from the foul line: v, verb form of "Size in your face".
