Pickin' & Grinnin': Lucky or not, if it ain't broke, don't rewrite it

I swear, though, I'm not superstitious, even if I'm typing this column with my fingers crossed while sitting in plain view on my desk – a wooden one that I can knock on – are a four-leaf clover, a rabbit's foot and the core of an apple I just ate to keep the doctor away.

So, you think an 8-team playoff is the answer?

There are no easy fixes for the BCS mess, just rhetorical questions.

Sports cliché of the day

"drinking the Kool-Aid
Pronunciation: \driŋkiŋ thə kül-ād\
Function: verb
Etymology: suicidal cults
1: used by sports columnists to describe a fan base that is overly optimistic about its team or a specific player
2: likens devout following of a recreation (sports) to a fanatical religious following
3: ignores that often times, "drinking the Kool-Aid" can be beneficial if a player or team overachieves and meets said drinkers expectations

Sentence: "Everybody seems to be drinking the Kool-Aid about Tommy Hunter. I'm not buying it."

Fun fact!: The Jonestown cult actually used Flavor Aid, not Kool-Aid. So maybe hack sportswriters should be saying that Rangers fans are "drinking the Flavor Aid."

Final note: The 30th anniversary of the Jonestown mass suicide comes November 18, and with it comes a suggestion. Please, sportswriters, we implore you: stop this comedic torture and find a new phrase.
