Stanley Cup

It weighs just 34 pounds, but takes a team of 20+ men to lift it.

roadtrip remnants

Roadtrip remnants are basically the trash left lying in your car after concluding a long roadtrip, usually with a few friends in tow. They usually consist of, but are not necessarily limited to, (half) empty bags of potato chips, food crumbs, empty soda cans/bottles, food wrappers, fast-food drink cups, and maybe a condom or two.
After coming back from Utah last weekend, I spent an hour cleaning the roadtrip remnants out of my car.
In baseball terminology, a brushback is a pitch, often used for intimidation purposes, thrown near a batter's head. A pitcher will throw a brushback if he thinks the batter is crowding over the plate, is being a showboat, or for retaliation.

Brushbacks can result in warnings, ejections, or even bench-clearing brawls.
Nolan Ryan threw a brushback at Robin Ventura years ago...and then proceeded to administer a grade-A asswhoopin' on the poor guy.

throw to the wolves

To put someone, who is usually inexperienced, into a very difficult and extremely high-pressure situation where there is a high chance of failure.
Throw to the wolves: An example would be making an 18-year-old kid who has never pitched in the Major Leagues, take the mound against the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium in game 7 of the World Series, with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with the Yankees down by one. Oh yeah, and Alex Rodriguez is at the plate. Have fun, kiddo, you've been thrown to the wolves.
A city in Utah that's about 90 percent Mormon (contrary to popular belief, not *all* cities in Utah are 90+ percent Mormon). Home to Brigham Young University.
I got lost in Provo, Utah a while ago.

At least Mormons are nice people and helped me find my way out.

To breathe rapidly and heavily, especially after engaging in strenuous activity such as exercise.

Dogs tend to do this a lot, as they do not sweat.
Man, after hiking all the way up that canyon, I was panting heavily. I was tired.

march madness

An overrated, overhyped college basketball tournament. Every March, this tournament is shoved down our collective throats by sports media (who should be covering the NHL playoff chase and MLB Spring Training instead), and results in everyone who buys into this, spending hours filling out their precious brackets.
other guy: ZOMG MARCH MADNESSSSSSSSSSSSS DUUUUUUUDE! SUNY Catholic State is playing against Northern Colorado A&M! Got your brackets filled out?

me: Oh, screw that, I'm gonna watch some Spring Training this afternoon, and cap it off with a hockey game tonight, featuring two teams fighting for a playoff berth. I'm not going to waste my time with some stupid bracket.

other guy: *cries*
