This game is like a breakfast of ham and eggs
Come to think of it, this isn't a metaphor, either. It's a similie.

Simile is a comparison. metaphor: He is a deer. simile: He runs like a deer. edit: (next week we cover metonymy and synecdoche)

Re: Awesome sports metaphores
w/o googling, and relying only on my recollection of my freshmen year of high school, a simile is a metaphor. But, in general, dumber people use similes and smarter, more eloquent people use metaphors. At least this is what the teacher seemed to imply.
