Stuff from the world of sports that Irritates the Crap Outta Me

[ShockerPrez]

I don't have a college football team, but I like to watch it. I just don't talk trash to the people that cheer for one of them. Unless they cheer for KU. Then they deserve it.

I actually will not talk trash to KU football fans because they have identified themselves as true fans. It's the KU fans who deny any knowledge of football that are the fair weathered sort.

People who don't care one way or the other but like to talk trash to you when your team loses (as a Husker football fan I know a lot about this!).

Not nearly enough, IMHO.

When sports media spews stats that are incomplete or entirely misleading. For example:

"This .300 hitter is hitting 400 over his last 4 games!" -- So he has 1-2 more hits than normal? great....

"The Seahawks are 0-2, 0-2 teams only make the playoffs 12% of the time" -- if the Seahawks don't make the playoffs it won't be because they lost a divisional road game and a game at Lambeau field... calm down.

"Nick Saban wins revenge games at a 82% rate at Alabama!" -- well he wins all games at a ~83% rate at Alabama sooo 82% isn't all that surprising...

Excellent. Let me add the "team A" hasn't won at "team B" since November 10, 2012 or whatever random date, when if you look at it for just a second, the 2 teams only player each other every other year, exchanging visits, so in fact it's only been 1 or 2 games they're talking about in a losing streak, when winning on the road is already a tough accomplishment.

Oh, absolutely! This is easily one of the worst ones.

All I see is a big steaming pile of poo here. What does that have to do with sports?

[The Mad Hatter]

The trend to drop the word "injury" by announcers, as in "he's out with a knee."

He isn't out with a knee. That would mean he is out because he has a knee. He's out with a knee injury.

Paul Savage, Brent Musburger, Tim McCarver, Jim Rome, Steven A. Smith, Doug Goatlube, Will Kunkel

Insufferable OU sports fans. Which really means OU football fans because in their minds there are only 3 sports seasons: recruiting season, football season, Spring football. I now spend waaaaaay too much time around these people.

BTW, did you know when an OU football fan travels to the OU-Texas game, the average IQ of both states goes up.

ROFLMAO, now that is funny!

Jim Rome

I'll give Rome a bit of a pass because he loves the Shockers and ripped the hell out of the Jayhawks last March.

"Nothing to gain? Pffff. More like nothing to offer!"

Fair enough. He loves Gregg for sure.

Straight cash, homie!
