The insane and unnecessary use of the term "going forward."

Its use is rapacious among sports broadcastors, particularly NFL broadcastors:

How many more Superbowls will Brady win going forward?; Will the Lions' trade for Mathew Stafford help the Lions going forward?.

It's even mouthed by political broadcastors: Will the new vaccines stop the virus going forward?; What will become of Donald Trump going forward?

How stupid! The speaker just used the future tense. What do they think "will" means?


"Generosity. That was my first mistake."
"Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us."
"Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."
