Flinging foign with Curt and John
Cowdy unconsciously tarnishes
everything that is good about sports,
journalism and the English language.
He is living proof that verbal com-
petence no longer amounts to much.
Merlin Often ran circles around him
during the Super Bowl. Olsen made his
points, made them quickly, then got
out. Enberg gave statistics, history and
commentary with style and confidence:
Cowdy and Brodie"flung foign. fFoigh:
•rhymes with 'pin:* refers to any
method of expression consisting df-
known words .combined to make no
apparent sense. Found everywhere,
but most commonly spoken hy politi-.
cians, businessmen'and sportscasters."
It is characterized by tautologies, trivi¬
alities and obfuscation, all designed to
avoid having to take a definite stand.
Much foign was flung in the 1960's,
t but ,it was delivered with energy.
Today, the energy is gone but the foign
remains. (Sometimes called 'rhetoric*
or.'marf-marf.*} .;_, .;
