Things in sports you are just plain tired of

One of the great joys of following sports is seeing something (an exciting play, a new record, an unusual circumstance) that you've never seen before.

Which is why these things turn me off:

- replays of LeBron James resin toss

- the "championship hat and t-shirt" crew that don't let a team celebrate a championship for a minute before enlisting them to sell gear.

- coverage of the coaches shaking hands at midfield. Unless there is an implicit positive or negative relationship between coaches, what point does it serve?

 

Brett Favre.
Cleveland teams sucking.

 

I'm tired of the polyturf studio gridiron where the boys will go to show us dopes how a play really works.

 

"It's not about the money."

 

* Brett Favre

* The Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Dodgers and Angels signing all the best free agents

* The Dallas Cowboys being called "America's Team"

* Kobe Bryant

* The Los Angeles Lakers on TV every time there's a late NBA game on

* Playoff games on the east coast that don't start until 9:10 p.m.

* Terrell Owens

* Southern Cal being the highest-ranked team with the most losses EVERY YEAR

* USC, Notre Dame, Nebraska and UCLA being ranked in the Top 25 preseason football polls EVERY YEAR

* Donald Fehr and Scott Boras

* Biased officiating

Those are just starters.

People who hate winners for no good reason.

(For the record, not directed at anyone here.)

 

People who think USC, Notre Dame, Nebraska and UCLA are all ranked in the Top 25 preseason football polls EVERY YEAR.
