The article has the mandatory sportswriters' abuse of this phrase.

Weirdly, the second sentence exhibits correct usage.

This begs the question of how supposedly college-educated sportswriters could have blown such a critical sentence because they don't know grammar. It raises a rather ugly question of just how competent some of these sportswriters really are.

All we needed were the terms "Physicality" and "Step Up" and we would've had most of the cliches covered, no?
