Things in sports you are just plain tired of

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

 

people waiting for the Jumbotron to tell them when to cheer.

 

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

-- the term "Wildcat," especially when said as if the announcer thinks no one else knows what he's talking about.
-- the term "pick six" for an interception return for a TD. Not original anymore.
-- the guy who runs alongside the college football head coach with his hand up after the game and points out the opposing coach for a handshake. Wow, you're real important.
-- the growing separation between BCS and non-BCS schools when non-BCS schools routinely beat up on BCS schools (see Houston, Boise State).
-- coaches getting huge contracts and then getting new contracts when they win. What? They signed the contract thinking they would lose?
-- players who holdout when they've signed a contract.

 

In MLB, NBA and NHL, I'd agree, but in the NFL, those contracts aren't guaranteed. The team can just cut the guy and not pay him, so why shouldn't the player decide to try to get a better deal for himself?

 

Let's see if we can get it to GARDEN LEVEL NOISE!!!!!!!! :

 

Amen. That should be a 15-yarder on the wide receiver. So should a receiver who signals a first down after a catch.

 

Two different things. One is showing up an official. The other is a celebration.

tstumpf is right that in baseball, many of these displays by receivers would get them tossed. Then again, you've got umpires in baseball who are way to quick to toss a guy, so I'm not sure if following that lead is a good idea.

 

When some dopey lineman tackles the ball carrier and goes into a 10 second celebration.

 

When the ballcarrier fumbles while being tackled and the official rules that he's down. Then the instant replay shows that the runner's knee isn't down, but the refs overule it by claiming they blew the whistle too early.

 

Why no love for TCU? Today, Texas Tech backed out of a game next year at home against TCU because they had to move the Texas game for TV. How convenient.

 

Very nice list.
