Quote:Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I saw this on twitter last night, and it's on various articles about last night's game. Is this phrase a reference to something? What does it mean?

It's an old, old cliche, that is used in sports to imply that a team has an unfair advantage in personnel. Nowadays it's a joke whenever a bad team reels off a few wins, someone says something like, "break up the [team name]!
