Critic’s Notebook: 76th Primetime Emmy Awards Oscillate Between Freshness and Fatigue
The term “run it back” might have been coined within sports, although I’m not entirely sure. What I can say for certain is that I most often encounter this phrase when discussing the culmination of a victorious season. In such situations, players, coaches, or team owners may express their wish to maintain all crucial members in an attempt to replicate the past success. Occasionally, this strategy results in the creation of a dynasty. However, other times the attempt to run it back fails, suggesting that the initial triumph might not have been as enduring as it initially seemed.
