please submit words, terms, cliches, quotes, etc, related to sports. if it is specific to a particular sport, identify that sport. please define the term, its origin and anything else that may provide context for its use. further, one could supply a link or a pic for additional clarification.

BUILDER AND THE PRIEST HIT THE GOLF COURSE

A builder and a priest are out for a game of golf one afternooon. Unfortunately the builder wasn't very good at the game and every time he missed a shot would shout 'Shit, missed'.

The game went on and after several outbursts from the builder, the priest could hold his tongue no longer. "Don't swear like that" he told his friend, "or God will punish you". The builder apologized and the game continued.

As soon as he missed another shot the builder shouted "Shit, missed." and continued to do this every time he missed a shot for the next three holes.

The priest was starting to get really angry by now and said "I must insist that you stop swearing this instant, otherwise God will hear you and punish you!"

Once again, his pleas made no difference as the builder missed an easy putt on the seventeenth green and shouted out "Shit, missed". Immediately the heavens parted and a bolt of lightning flew from the sky, hitting the priest and killing him stone dead.

Suddenly, a booming voice was heard in the clouds, "Shit, missed!"

some ignorant fuck said that football (i'll just call it what the rest of the world outside the u.s. calls it) players are a bunch of sissies and that football ain't physical.
let's see about that.

in modern usage the term "bleachers" almost always refers to just the seating area, and its participants may be called "bleacher fans", or "bleacherites", or (in Chicago) "bleacher bums".
