    A sports thing, esp in football: "And they're getting their first round pick guy from last yr back, so that's like adding 2 first round picks".

    Heard this a lot with Breshad Perriman (ravens), Kevin White (bears). Both came back and did exactly what they did as a rookie, nothing. Always used with Tony Romo, who came back and would get hurt as well, but NFL Analyst would always talk like he'd be 100% for every game the following year.

    You know Tim Ferriss? I actually see him every year in Vegas.

    Cardone overuses the phrase, and specifically does so as a verb.
