Is anyone tired of hearing the word "vaunted" in football? (1 Viewer)

The word "vaunted" has been used so much in the football world last season and this season. Is anyone tired of hearing the word "vaunted" in football? Please vote yes or no.

no i like it

right up there with "epic" and "tauted"

I voted No. I do however think "beast" and "monster" are waaay overused. As in "he was a beast today" or "he could be an absolute monster"

Null vote. Totally depends on context and who says it. Example:

YES:

Facenda: "The vaunted Raider defense cut down the Washington Redskins in the Superbowl like a fierce Autumn wind."

NO:

Kornheiser: using it in any context.

I vaunted beer, but they served me viskey.

Cute poll, not surprising results, but seriously....this needs to be in the Shark Pool?

Who are these vaunters, and has anyone ever actually seen them vaunting? And while we're on the topic, has anyone fenestrated the defatigable spring chickens yet?

Did you just call a poll "cute" in the shark pool???? That's preshis

vaunted is by definition a football word... to stop using it is to kill it.

I'd love to stop hearing the word Charlie but maybe that's only in a political context.
