Please add your guesses for the full on sports cliches we’ll hear tonight from the Monday Night Football crew during the Bears v. Lions:

  • Tirico: Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh my!” laugh laugh laugh (fake sportscaster laugh)
  • Gruden: Julius Peppers loves the limelight.
  • Jaworski: Cutler’s posture is all wrong. He’s not stepping into this throws.
  • Gruden: Rod Marinelli is a great, tenacious coach. He teaches this Chicago “D” to go for the ball.
  • Tirico: The Lions are resilient, just like the city of Detroit.
  • Gruden: Detroit is a blue collar town and the people love to see these hard-working teams. (Followed by a shot of that big bronze sculpture of the fist of Joe Louis)
  • Gruden: Ndamukong Suh has a nasty streak. You have to, though, if you play the defensive tackle position in the NFL.
  • Jaworski: The Bears really miss Olin Kruetz and his toughness.
  • Jaworski: Jay Culter has a cannon for an arm, but just doesn’t look too comfortable after taking a beating.
  • Six tributes to Al Davis and maybe one thrown in for Brett Favre. No reason, they just love Brett Favre.
