[Kurn, son of Mogh]

[ QUOTE ]
thread's stuck, so I'll just post a bunch of quotes from my High-School Football Coach:

"You either get better or worse, you never stay the same"

"Better to die as a young child than fumble the football"

"your attitude in life will determine your altitude in life"

"Pride makes the difference"

"When it's time to be a man - you gonna' bring your wife & kids brad and milk or beer and cigarettes?"

"bend your knees son, the only thing you can do standing up is [censored] a horse"

None of the above is a metaphor.

An example of a metaphor from someone in sports would be:

"I am the straw that stirs the drink" - Reggie Jackson
