    Even worse - trying to find pictures on the wire later and having to filter through three pages of celebrities before getting to actual game shots.

    Tim Tebow
    John Calipari (JUST RUN FOR OFFICE ALREADY! My god, the guy is sleazier than a politician.)
    Brett Favre and his retirement dance
    TV stations deciding what games to air. There should be at least some way of spreading the wealth, unlike a few years ago when it seemed like KU had every Big Monday game of the entire year.
    Preseason NFL.
    Crying fans after a loss. I'd rather see a bunch of people excited for their team than a 40-year-old man crying pathetically while his wife pretends to not know who he is.

    Paying $20 to park at a game where you've already dropped $150 for two average tickets.
    You can avoid the overpriced food, but you gotta leave your car somewhere.

    On the other hand, I wouldn't mind seeing as many shots possible of the Iowa quarterback's (Vandenberg) mother.

    When networks let NFL do video introductions of themselves, I hate:

    1. Ohio State guys saying, "Ted Ginn ... THE Ohio STATE University."

    2. Miami guys saying, "Reggie Wayne ... The U."

    3. Other guys probably still pissed off they didn't get the ball or the PT in college that they wanted affiliating themselves with their high school team. Well, I can understand, probably the last time everyone kissed your ass every day.

    Add this...

    If these three words were outlawed -- basically, we, just ... Athletes couldn't start a sentence. Because 99 percent of them start a sentence with "Basically, we just, blah, blah.."

    Isn't Twitter pretty much of a choice ... signing up for it, then following someone, or letting them follow you?

    There's a lot of BS in sports we can't get away from ... you can make a really easy, conscious choice not to read Stewart Cink tweets.

    Christ, complain about something that's a little harder to avoid.

    That's the network's fault. Which is my pet peeve. We don't need guys doing their own intros.

    That shit has even crept into radio and it's a million times worse. Especially when guys who weren't expected to start at the beginning of the year get moved into the lineup, and so they're not even mentioned.

    Likewise, suddenly ESPN has gotten lazy and given us just three players, and letting them represent the whole offense and defense. Just as bad.

    I wasn't complaining. It was a joke not intended for you.

    Relax there, pallie.
