People, places and things we noticed recently that land on the over-done or overly praised side. Not necessarily awful but, you know, just “meh.
- Call two goals a “brace”
- Any “marquee” matchup that can’t land at a better time than 11 p.m. ET
- Jose Luis Sanchez Sola’s raw emotion
- Juan Toja’s ability to ever make in impact for New England
- “Top Shelf” margaritas
- Chicago midfielder Joel Lindpere
- The next, latest, greatest homegrown initiative (Tap me on the shoulder when the homegrown kids are contributing; until then, spare me the self-congratulatory boasts.)
- Over-concern for artificial turf
- Any excuse for putting hands on a ball boy
