I don't think one can embed pictures in comments on here, but interested parties can check the dapper little fellow out here: http://dsfshop.sport1.de/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66&products_id=232 DSF is the German answer to ESPN, and "Doppelpass" is their pundit show, which has a vibe (and time slot) somewhat similar to that of the Sports Reporters (except that it is in German, only about football, takes place in the lobby of an airport hotel in Munich, and they drink beer on camera). In any event, whenever one of the participants utters a standard fussball platitude, he is called on same by the host or another participant, and is required to put one Euro into the piggy bank. My second nomination is Brian's own comment of a few hours ago on Roswitha's blog, which succinctly combines two (and arguably three, given the reference to stabbing) classic memes of this genre: WORLD'S MOST RACIST FANS STABBED BY LOVABLE SCOTSMEN. This is going to be fun. I nominate the DSF Phrasenschwein.
