"Barring Injury" is the dumbest phrase... (1 Viewer)

Yeah. I never get injured at the bar.

Can't say the same.

Barring Injury, barring Injury, barring injury...it's the most moronic non-position one can take.

Barring injury so and so will do well. Barring Injury the Saints will win it all. Barring injuries this team will be great...blah, blah & blah.

If you're guilty of saying it...stop it! You sound like a fool. Of course if he gets injured he won't do well. We know that stupid...you're not saying anything or adding anything to the conversation. Barring Injury...it's just dumb...knock it off.

Rant over.

(Cue the moron who will immediately say..."barring Injury _________ will do well" because he thinks he is funny...you're not.

Barring death, everyone will survive the plane crash.

You're right and wrong.

"Barring injury, Drew will have a productive season" is idiotic. Correct.

"Barring injuries, the Saints will have a good year" isn't necessarily foolish because they had a good year last year with some serious injuries. It's possible to say "Even losing some players to injury, the Saints can still hold up in the playoffs." Therefore, the modifier of "barring injuries" is useful there.

No, it's not.

But what if, according to my beliefs:

True:
Barring injury, the Saints will win the division and contend for a Super Bowl.

False:
The Saints will win the division and contend for a Super Bowl.

The Saints will win the division and contend for a Super Bowl = true.

If they stay healthy, they have a shot.

I think it's been a strange and slow offseason. Barring a setback, we should be having some football to talk about soon.

The one that used to bother me.."If you have two QBs you have no QBs". Its not even historically accurate.
