Are you kidding, Michael?  Can a guy not use metaphors in sports nowadays 
without someone taking offense?  Next thing you know, no one can say a 
team "blew" (possible reference to untimely death of Len Bias) or didn't 
have any heart (possible reference to untimely death of Reggie Lewis), or 
"shot itself in the foot" (possible reference to that scene in M*A*S*H 
where Col. Potter says "I should've shot myself in the foot and stayed in 
Honolulu").  I mean, I really think this is an example of searching for 
offensiveness.
