Certain phrases stick with you. In football, one of my favorite phrases comes from the late, great Terez Paylor.
Ford just secured the bag, folks. He’s agreed to a five-year deal worth $87.5 million, a source confirms.
And the contract year, my friends, remains undefeated. — RIP Terez A.

There are countless examples of this happening.
