BLOGGING JEWISH IN DUTCHESS With Super Bowl upon us, I thought it might be interesting to examine some of the sport-related idioms we use every day and what they mean for us. We use these idioms because we relate to them in a way that formal expressions just cannot do it.
Take for example “Monday morning quarterback”. Everybody can criticize what a quarterback did or didn't do while sitting in the couch...but how many of us can perform in the field with a few thousands people watching us and putting pressure on us. Not to mention the pressure we put on ourselves in such situations. As easy as criticizing the quarterback is to criticize the life-and-death decisions that many world leaders are forced to make. Of course, we are sitting on the couch rather than the hot seat. |
