This drives me crazy. Some new catch phrase comes out and everyone uses it but no one ever says what the hell it means. That new catch phrase?

"complimentary football"

What does that even mean? I know it must be a positive but what the hell is it?

This is what I found.

Complementary football is a theory in American football that states the performance, or lack thereof, in one of the three phases of the game by a team can subsequently alter the game's flow in the following possessions, so the three units of the team must operate in synergy as a collective for the best chance to win.
