* Double Doink[[labelnote:Explanation]]In a 2018 NFC Wild Card game with the Chicago Bears hosting the then-defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, the Bears were trailing by one point with 10 seconds left in the game. The Bears' Cody Parkey attempted a 43-yard [[DownToTheLastPlay game-winning field goal]] that was tipped by the Eagles' Treyvon Hester, which changed the ball's trajectory, causing the ball to hit the left upright, then the crossbar, before falling in the endzone. NBC's Cris Collinsworth remarked that "The Bears' season's gonna end on a double doink". To rub salt into Parkey's wound, his first kick would've been good had the Eagles' head coach Doug Pederson not called timeout to ice the kicker.[[/labelnote]]

* "All-In" my ass. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In January 2024, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, made a vow that they're going to go "all-in" for next season, which had many people wondering what he meant by that. The most obvious case being that the Cowboys were going to load up the roster like crazy to win the 2024 season's Super Bowl. The 2024 March free-agency then comes around only for the Cowboys to end up being the one team that barely made any new roster changes worthy enough to be mentioned, which led to many fans cracking jokes about the Cowboys' supposed "all-in" strategy[[/labelnote]]

** "Shaq, we're on live" [[labelnote:Explanation]] After a close game against the Toronto Raptors during the 2003-04 season, Shaq [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-BoeBedZ3k complained about the referees]] during the live post-game interview, claiming that they were why the league was losing money and that they were "trying to take over the fucking game." (Complaining about the refs and cursing during interviews are both fineable offenses.) The reporter tried to salvage the situation with "Shaq, we're on live," after which Shaq looked directly into the camera and said "I don't give a shit." The incident still gets namedropped after players' hot mic situations or spicy interviews. [[/labelnote]]

This is very likely to be mentioned if Poole has a good game and has spread to players other than Poole. [[/labelnote]]

** Or, if you are a WebVideo/UrinatingTree fan, "Tank Bowl.""[[labelnote:Explanation]]Pro leagues in North America use a selection system, colloquially called the draft, for signing talented young players when they first become eligible in order to prevent massive arms races between teams via checkbook. In general, to promote competitive balance teams with the worst records the previous year are given priority to select and sign the most promising players. This does give teams who already have bad records an incentive to [[ThrowingTheFight Throw The Fight]] by losing games for better draft picks, whether or not they actually do -- colloquially it's known as "tanking".[[/labelnote]]

Other clubs have since experienced even more dramatic declines -- most notably Portsmouth, who went from winning the FA Cup in 2008 to three consecutive relegations (and nearly a fourth) within the next five years -- but Leeds remain the go-to example for when it comes to dramatic, ruinous declines.[[/labelnote]]
