Things in sports you are just plain tired of

Yeah, but it's not football season until I hear him say PENN STATE at least once.

 

Ah, yes, 2010.
The NBA has been so focused on this year, it's like they're sleeping through the 3 years preceding it.

 

Or worse - "the only Italian who has won more than Paterno is Julius Cesear"

Or "Notre Dame has better material than every team in the country"

Or this annual gem...."Pitt needs to do a better job with that nonconference schedule..."

'But, but Beano, next year they play at Utah, they play at Notre Dame and they play Miami of Florida at Heinz Field.....'

"Well, Notre Dame is pretty good, but those other two teams aren't very good at all. I mean - why wouldn't Pitt try to play Navy, Army and Fordham? Those are the real powers in football!!!!"

 

Don't they try and angle the bottle of gatorade just right so the camera gets the logo also?

 

Unless he's a part of the Coca-Cola Family of Drivers, in which case he's trying to get his swallow of Coke Zero down while the camera's on him so he can get Chug Points. There's a competition and at the end of the year somebody gets a cash award, or used to. (And there appears to be a Tony Stewart Exception; I've mainly seen him with regular Coke rather than the diet crap.)

 

What about the dudes that say their junior high or high school?

 

"Our football team played a great football game onthe football field today."'

"That's an outstanding golf shot."

The 9,850 shots of Charlie Weis (or every previous ND coach) on the sidelines while he's getting his ass coached off (well, I guess not, since he's still about three bills) by the guy on the other sideline, despite the constant shilling of Weis' genius by Tom Hammond and Pat Haden, who has a special place in Trojan hell awaiting him for his work for the dark side.

Basically, now that Bob Costas is over at MLB (where he's great), anything NBC sports has to offer is garbage. Like today, when they are reduced to showing figure skating on a Sunday. Curt Gowdy, Al Derogatis (sp.?) and Charlie Jones must be spinning in their graves. NBC made the AFL, forced the merger. Now it does figure skating.

 

I'm tired of the Chicago Bears bull shit defence.

 

I think in your case, it would be Colt .45. And the jar of pickles.

 

They usually say that when they didn't like their college experience, for whatever reason.

Other things that I'm tired of:

4-hour long baseball playoff games that end at midnight.

Fans storming the court and the field whenever a game is on ESPN. A championship? Sure. A midseason game in which the No. 2 team beats some other team at home? Act like you've been there before.

These new-fangled college hoop postseason tournaments that aren't the NCAA or the NIT.

 

The triangle sponsor signs that small colleges put on the sidelines of their too-big stadiums, forcing players and officials going out of bounds to play leapfrog or risk going ass-over-teakettle.

Colleges that feel the need to pipe in music at every opportunity, thus drowining out the bands. I can make plenty of nose without Hells Bells or Zombie Nation Remix, thank you very much.
