    Fans claiming 'years of suffering' for championship droughts they weren't alive for most of.

    Sneaker contracts that earn coaches hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, but give nothing to the players other than a free pair of shoes that they are forced to wear unless they are Michael Jordan's son.

    Sponsor signs behind home plate that take up the entire wall (I don't mind outfield signs because they're traditional, in a way).

    Also tired of league-paid commentators saying the Wildcat is celebrating its first birthday.

    Talking about a long run and calling it a "gash."
    "They are in the pistol."
    Confusing a direct snap with the "wildcat." Having the backup QB take a snap and the commentators call it the "wildcat."

    Can't believe no one's mentioned this one:

    Former Miami Hurricane football players who introduce on themselves on NFL games as being from, "The U."

    Also, "God Bless America," at baseball games. WTF ever happened to "Take Me Out To The Ball Game?"

    ESPN dragging out Beano Cook on the radio everytime something vaguely Notre Dame-related happens so he can drag out the old, "The three most-pressure packed jobs in the U.S are N.Y. mayor, president of the U.S. and football coach at Notre Dame."

    1975 called, it wants your relevance back, Beano. STFU.
