Pretty sure that went out in the late 80's
This went out several years ago as well. As in nobody, not even old white people say it anymore.

You hear this fifty times per day this time of year regarding the playoff scenario in the NFL.
"[insert team here] controls its own destiny."
No they don't.
Your destiny is your destiny. You can't control it. That's why it's your destiny.

What about "love me" instead of "loves me"?

equally as bad. Calling a moratorium on either of these phrases for all people (but especially white people).

I know it stings a little. Just telling you this for your own good. You know that fat guy at the tractor pull who still "raises the roof" when something awesome happens? Yeah. You're just a rung or two away from that.

I'm just going to pull quotes from NFL previews each week and find some.
It could also be Fisher’s finale with the Titans, as owner Bud Adams said he will be evaluated at season’s end. “I'M NOT GOING TO GO THERE,” Fisher said Monday when asked about the subject. “I’VE NEVER GONE THERE."
Go where?
“We’re a tight-knit team. Nothing can tear us apart,” Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder(notes) said. “I talked to Tony on Sunday night on the phone, just SHOT THE BULL with him, saying, ‘We’re right here with you, babe. I’m going to go out there for the next 10 years, however long you’re here, playing hard for you.’”
BANG!
It was a big win, especially with what we have gone through,” Vikigins QB Joe Webb said. “It was a long trip for us and to get a win against the Eagles, we are trying to finish the season on a HIGH NOTE.”
Fa la la la la laaaaaaa
“We’re obviously not going to the Super Bowl,” said Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew(notes). “We just want to get it done and LAY A FOUNDATION for next year.”
Building a house? Hopefully its in a good part of town.
“I can only hope, and I believe, that we will take the adversity and this BUMP IN THE ROAD and allow it to make us strong and more tight knit as a team,” Falcons linebacker Coy Wire(notes) told Atlanta’s official website. “Every guy on this team will take it and use it as motivation to PROPEL US FURTHER than we would have if we won tonight.”
Are you being shot out of a cannon? That's one way to avoid that bump in the road.
“Unfortunately for us IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THIS YEAR,” Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis(notes) said. “We didn’t get a lot of wins and we’re sitting with the No. 1 pick in the draft right now. So the personnel department, they have a lot of decisions they have to make. THAT'S THE NATURE OF THIS BUSINESS.”
Oh, "it" happened. A lot. And it wasn't good. That's the nature of this business.
“I don’t know what we’re going to do,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said. “We’re going to do what we think gives us the best chance to win. THAT'S WHERE I'LL LEAVE IT FOR NOW."
Leave it where exactly? And for how long?
“They’re all a bunch of guys who are developing each and every day,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said. “You can see that. The coaches have done a terrific job last year and this year of helping in that process and the players themselves have done a terrific job. It feels good as the head coach to see some of these guys GROW UP BEFORE YOUR EYES and become players BEFORE YOUR EYES."
And win the division before your eyes. And play in January before your eyes.
“IT'S A PROCESS to get there,” Raiders coach Tom Cable said. “This week is just the last step for this year, and that is to go out and win a game and finish the season 8-8, stop the losing record thing that has kind of been CHASING THIS ORGANIZATION for a number of years as well as complete the sweep in the division. I think that would be a heck of a deal for our football team and LAUNCH US INTO THE FUTURE and the next year.”
Cable. Just calm down.
I’m glad I’m not a head coach,” Jets QB Mark Sanchez said. “I don’t know. I always want to play. I like practicing; I like playing. That’s all I think about. I love doing it and I just want to be smart with my shoulder. … It’s going to be up to Rex. It’s a tough decision and I DON'T WANT TO BE IN HIS SHOES."
How about his jacket?
“That’s all we can think about. That’s our playoff game,” Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris said. “If we go out and win it, WHATEVER HAPPENS HAPPENS. … If you waste time during the week worrying about scenarios, usually you take away from time in preparation, and we don’t like to do that.”
Yes it does.
“It feels good,” Saints QB Drew Brees said. “You just want to PUNCH YOUR TICKET to the big show, and we’ve done that. Obviously Carolina needs to beat Atlanta so we can get that one seed.”
Do they still punch tickets nowadays?
“We’re going to be on a crash course for this week’s game, period,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “Our focus is strictly on playing this game and knowing that there’s still a lot at stake potentially. “This is going to be a tough test for us, especially coming off of a Monday night game. Tampa is coming in and they’re still IN THE HUNT, and when you’re IN THE HUNT you’re desperate.”
Is it hunting season?
“We’re very pleased with the 11 wins and pleased with the opportunity to compete in the playoffs,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “But the regular season is not over. There’s still something to be accomplished. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A RUN AT IT and see what happens.”
Like its a stuck door!
“THE ONLY THING YOU CAN ASK FOR in this business is to get in the dance,” said Ravens LB Ray Lewis, selected to his 11th Pro Bowl on Tuesday. “Now WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BUSINESS against Cincinnati, a team that beat us earlier in the year, a team in our division.”
I could ask for more. Like taking care of your business.
The Bengals, 1-6 on the road, come in PLAYING SOME OF THEIR BEST FOOTBALL, but it might not be enough to save Bengals coach Marvin Lewis’ job.
Well if they were playing ALL of their best football, maybe they could save his job.
“My focus is really the Baltimore Ravens, and WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN IT COMES TO THAT TIME,” Ravens LB Ray Lewis said. “I don’t think much about it.”
I think the phrase you're searching for is "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
“We can’t fault anyone but ourselves,” Giants safety Antrel Rolle(notes) said. “WE HAD IT IN THE GRASP OF OUR HANDS, and we didn’t take advantage of the opportunities. Now, we have to leave it in the hands of something else. It’s something in this league that you never, ever want to do.”
Maybe some stickum would help?
“We’re going to win. LET ME MAKE THAT CLEAR,” 49ers interim coach Jim Tomsula said Monday. “That was something we talked about this morning. Jed’s made that very CLEAR. (Vice president of player personnel) Trent Baalke’s made it very CLEAR - very, very CRYSTAL CLEAR.”
We follow orders, son. We follow orders or people die. It's that simple. Are we clear?
“It’s great for the team. It’s kind of another step in the whole thing,” Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said. “We’re hoping we can TAKE A BIG STEP and then GET ON THE BOTTOM OF ANOTHER MOUNTAIN AND TRY TO CLIMB THAT ONE."
Big steps only! I don't know what phrase Spag was reaching for at the end there but he should stop immediately.

This is one of those scenario's where it might not be the term that bothers you but the fact that it is used toward you too often.
I read the one about Google being used as a verb but has that not just become part of the lexicon?

The amount of people that write "ect." instead of the proper "etc." is astounding to me. I even see reasonably intelligent people do it, I don't get it.
I don't think I've ever noticed "ect." for "etc.", but I do see a lot of people write "etc." when they mean "et al." — e.g., "The most exciting players are often the fastest, like DeSean Jackson, Jamaal Charles, Chris Johnson, etc."

There is a sports talk radio host here in Pittsburgh that says this constantly. I can't even listen to him anymore because at the end of the day I want to punch his throat.
