    From a fan standpoint...

    My college football team losing.

    The radio color guy prefacing everything with "What we need to do now is..." You ain't out there, son.

    Overpriced tickets and that extra bribe/extortion payment season ticketholders are charged.

    TV timeouts/long televised games.

    $20 for parking.

    The wave.

    Smokers and peeing drunks who exit your row eight times a game.

    Halftime presentations, usually.

    Cliches like "we just reached down deep" or "we lost to a better team"

    Uncreative nicknames like AI, TO, T-Mac, C-Webb, L.T., A-Rod, K-Rod, RichRod. What happened to nicknames like The Splendid Splinter, Gump Worsley, The Say Hey Kid, Night Train Lane, Magic Johnson? And the fan boys who repeatedly spout the aforementioned stupid nicknames. Why not crawl up AI's ass instead?

    well.....it'd be a lot cooler if it was in the house! A Chevette could fit in an average size room.

    - The "no-respect" card (Give it up New England)
    - Quote: "...at the end of the day..."
    - Quote: "...most definately..." (WTH does that mean?)
    - Producers telling sideline reporters to ask dumb questions to coaches.
    - The "anointing" of genius coaches (LaRussa, Hoodie, Saban, etc)

    My car is an Impala and I think it would fit in here.

    Oh and to keep us on topic:

    Any kicker in college football who does not wear a number between 1-19. Kickers should not wear 82, 99, 47 or whatever.

    Sports media

    Sports journalists who think because they sit in the press box they know better than everyone

    The fact newspapers think that somehow, someway, they can outlast the Internet
