REPORTER: [NAME OF PLAYER], Congratulations! Can you describe what you’re feeling right now?

ATHLETE: Well, first I wanna thank [DEITY OF CHOICE] and of course [SPONSOR]. It’s unbelievable! [OPPONENT] played so well. They made it tough for us at every turn. I want to congratulate them on a great series. They had an amazing year, but [CLICHÉ ABOUT ODDS OF WINNING], we won… That’s right haters, we are the [EXPLETIVE] [NAME OF CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES] Champs!

REPORTER: Did you ever think you would make it here to the [CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES NICKNAME]?

ATHLETE: I set a goal [NUMBER OF YEARS THE TEAM HAS BEEN TERRIBLE] ago and I was determined to bring a Championship to this City. I gave it [CLICHÉ FROM MOTIVATIONAL KITTEN DESK CALENDAR]. [NAME OF CITY], THIS IS FOR YOU!

REPORTER: [ATHLETE’S NICKNAME], you did what no other team has been able to do, coming back from [SYNONYM FOR HELL] to the finals. And to do that, you had to win [CALCULATED INTEGER] games, which has proven to be too much for so many teams. How did you do it?

ATHLETE: Well, I spoke to [COACH’S NICKNAME] and he said we have to go back to playing [FULL TEAM NAME + SPORT]. We were letting ourselves get bigger than the game. Nobody can be bigger than this game. We came back and played [FULL TEAM NAME + SPORT] and we were victorious. [DEITY] did this. [DEITY] wanted us to be Champions!

ATHLETE: I was saying to [NICKNAME OF ONLY OTHER GOOD PLAYER ON TEAM] that we can’t let that get us down. We need to get back out there and [MOST BASIC SKILL USED IN THE GAME]. We need everybody to [MOTIVATIONAL CLICHÉ FROM 2003 WALL CALENDAR] and [VERB] the [BALL/PUCK/SHUTTLECOCK]!

REPORTER: [NICKNAME OF ATHLETE], did you have a personal mantra… something you kept saying to yourself all season?

ATHLETE: Definitely. I told myself to [HOT YOGA POSE] and [SAYING FROM FORTUNE COOKIE]. Things can get frustrating when they don’t go your way. We all believe in each other and we’re capable of doing some good things when we [SIMPLE SKILL THEY TEACH CHILDREN IN MINOR LEAGUE], that’s when the magic happens.

REPORTER: What advice would you give to young people out there that hope to be like you one day?

ATHLETE: You’ve gotta start with [OBVIOUS STARTING POINT]. Learn the game. Love the game. Be the game. Then, start talking money early. Get yourself an agent and don’t let the man try and [KAMASUTRA, PAGE 42]. That way, you get some endorsements and money up front.

REPORTER: Maybe the endorsements and agent are [SYNONYM FOR “TOO SOON”], don’t you think?

ATHLETE: Don’t I think?! Don’t YOU think?! Why the [EXPLETIVE] are you questioning my advice?! Which one of us is about to be fitted for a [TAKES DEITY’S NAME IN VAIN] [CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES] ring and have a line of merchandise with their name and [EXPLETIVE] number all over it? Is it YOU?
