Mike McCarthy say Everything is "Just Like Anything Else"

[gimmesix]

It's better than, "Well, like...."

I used to say "basically" every other sentence when giving a speech. Listened to myself and broke that habit.

As a former fan of Sean Payton before the worst 10 years as a fan with Garrett, I appreciate Mike McCarthy and am not interested in Sean Payton right now, although I recognize his talent.

And I'm not picking on Mike here, but as a detail-oriented person, I can't help but notice how many times McCarthy answers a question by saying, "it's just like anything else" or "just like anything" and doesn't really follow it up with saying something that truly is "just like anything [else]."

If we were losing, or if we turn into a Garrett-like culture, I can see this being a big problem for him, unintentionally.

"It's just like anything else."

I'm not sure if he's cognizant how redundant this sounds, or if he's doing it to thumb his nose at the media.

Either way, this post is just like anything else, and I hope Mike finds a new phrase very soon.

Sean Payton was never coming to Dallas. I actually like MM— much better than JG. Also, MM is a proven Super Bowl winner

Why is it when people don’t tell you what they are thinking, it’s assumed they don’t think anything.. coach speak is just hot air being exhausted into the atmosphere..

I'd prefer that he would say "it makesmenonevermind" or life is a hamburger.

I'll say it for the 99th time Mike McCarthy is a fraud who lived off a holding technique until he was busted. then in 2 years lost his job because he was hopeless as a head coach.

I don't mind as long as he keeps taking this team to the playoffs. He could yodel his whole conference as far as I'm concerned.

I did some research. This is nothing new. Apparently, everything has been just like anything else since at least 2006.

What does this tell ya......lol. He is who he is......he ain't changing (lol)

They call it coach speak for a reason. You NEVER want to give a too detailed answer because it could open up a can of worms you never intended (Law of unintended consequences) or you tip your cap to the opposing team.

Mikes canned phrases and terminology is by design. He views the media as the enemy. Its his mentality. So he gives them almost nothing by design. He is oldschool. Its all gamesmanship. He isnt about to give the other team ie the media, any red meat. Its smart, even if he frustrates we fans.

its smart. He is not giving the media or other team anything.

I prefer it over “ it’s a process…”

For the record, I liked my title for this thread ("The 'It's Like Anything' Drinking Game Could Be Fun This Week") better. But okay.

It's like people using "ya know" or "know what I mean" frequently, it's a verbal crutch and means nothing.

Prescott starts 90% of his answers with "yeah" but that does not mean he's agreeing with what the questioner posed to him.

I used to have one that my employees called me out on, "basically". I started too many sentences with that and what made it humorous was that I had special sales meetings on not using verbal crutches because they can divert the attention of your target audience away from the message.

When I used to listen to Booger do interviews, I would get caught up in counting the "uhs" and "ums" which are nothing more than devices to keep the floor and try and prevent others from interrupting and taking the floor from you. I may not be speaking but I am making noise.
