I know this is a horrible answer, but all the cliches are horrible. Every post game interview is the same thing, that's why it's refreshing every now and then to see a player speak his mind like Chad Johnson does.
If I had to give one answer though it would be "giving 110%". Tommy Lasorda said it best when he yelled at Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla on the Man Show and said, "you can't give 110%, there's only 100 f***ing percent to give. How the hell can you give 110 %?"

Any baseball cliche & platitude uttered by those who don't have a basic sense of the sport. Also, those who use the batter as a metaphor , e.g. 3 strikes yer out. I'd love 2 hear some-1 use the pitcher as a metaphor. U'no, like "Expand your repertoire; don't stick 2 just fastballs," or instead of "3 strikes yer out," say "Oops! That one was right down the middle. & the manger's makin' the call 2 the bullpen."

Taking it to the house...Who's house and do they know you're coming?...*L*
Giving 110%...You CANNOT have more than 100% of anything...
We got outplayed today
We got outcoached today
As long as we stick to the gameplan, we will win
The damn gameplan must change according how the game unfolds...You're not gonna run on every play against the #1 rushing defense in the NFL just because you think have a good running game...Chances are, your GAMEPLAN will get stuffed...

the one that gets on my nerves the worst is when the announcer says how the player made an "unbelievable" or "miraculous" play...and at least there is one every game no matter what sport tour watching........
they are going to have to invent a new word when someone actually does make a "miraculous" play...........

Leave it on the field...rubbin' is racin'...every word Dick Vitale speaks...oh, and football is a game of inches. I hate the phrase "going yard" used referring to home runs, too.

"we gotta take it o n e g a m e at a time!" well how the heck else are you gonna take it? you know? that one always bothers me because you know theyre gonna say it.
how 'bout, "we don't care who we play! were just glad to be here!" yeah right! you could play the pistons or the cavs...yeah right....which one would you choose? i'd like to hear them say, "shoot, we want the cavs! they stink!"...lmao.

take it one play/pitch/game/whatever at a time. no sh**. you certainly can't take 2 games at once.
oh, the worst saying i've ever heard from a coach is "catch a fart and paint it green." to this day i still don't understand what that meant

"they were the better team today"
"the ball didnt bounce our way today"
'he came through in the clutch"
"this loss really hurts"
he made a fantastic play"
"he carried us on his shoulders"
