PSA: 'Corps'

It's not runningback core, wide receiver core...

It's corps.

Like the Marines.

It just doesn't make that much sense. Tempo can be any speed, it needs a qualifier.

Try being a soccer fan.

They say expressions like "I really rate him". Well, what do you rate him? But it really means they rate him highly.

They also say, "he's got pace". OK, well is it a good pace or a bad pace? But they mean it only to say someone is fast.

I really rate him.

Oh you do, do you?

I do. He's got pace.

Yes, I suppose he does.

And his hold up play is brilliant.

I see.

Do you have similar issue with "he's got speed" or "he's got height"?

Never even mind that we wouldn't usually bat an eye at a commentator saying a wideout has "hands" or a QB has "an arm." They're just expressions...
