It was cool at first, but now virtually every good player is termed a "matchup nightmare". On ESPN today, there were two separate front page captions, describing Calvin Johnson and Jimmy Graham, both as a "matchup nightmare." We get it- they are difficult to cover and cause problems for defenses (don't all good offensive players cause problems for defenses?) At some point the sports world/media needs to become more creative and find a new phrase to describe the awesomeness of certain players. This term is starting to get as annoying as the "he might go all the way" catch phrase.
