"110%" = WTF?

It's as cliche as "I'd like to thank GOD first and foremost."

It has been disseminated to atheletes of every ilk. It's the big red button of sporting cliches. When faced with adversity said athelete always resorts to:

"We're gonna give 110%".

Lately I've read comments from a soccer player trying to give 200% and a b-baller about to lay it on the line with 150%.

WTF?

As vexing as it is to hear this over and over again, it also induces vomit due to the fact that NO ONE CAN GIVE 110% BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. When will they learn that this tired, urban legend of a cliche bores fans to death? It's like playing Madlibs with Angela from The Office.

Here's a list of crap sporting cliches:

-"We're gonna give 110%."
-"We're gonna play our game."
-"We're taking it one game at a time."
-"We're not looking ahead, we're focused on our next game."
-"I'd like to thank my teammates"
-"I took what the defense gave me."
-"We're just happy to be here."
