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

[Steeleshocker]

Fan Duel and Draft Kings commercials!

I wonder which layer of hell is reserved for those companies. Probably have a spot reserved next to the payday loan companies.

[Fairgame]

Every time someone uses the word "athlete" incorrectly.

1. Sideline reporters that ask the same dumb, low effort, pointless questions again and again.

The feature of sports, which has the least or no value - sideline reporters.

I like Grayson Allen. I'm not Duke fan, but he single handedly saved their ass against UK.

I like him too, but I think you meant Wisconsin

[DwShock]

Creighton, Gus Johnsons annoying voice, KU Jayhawks, the KU fight song, the KU chant, striped overalls (not the railroad type), the fact I pay for MLB extra innings and can't get my teams broadcast, instant replay in baseball, I could go on but that's enough.

I'd like to add Bob Davis is the WORST announcer of all time. Listening to him is wose than jamming a rusty ball pein hammer into your ear 6 or 7 times.

I also love how they archived the NMSU game, but not the WSU game, then took down the NMSU game. Living rent free.

Or 8 or 9 times. I would much rather listen to Paul Savage than Boob Davis and I really don't care for Savage at all.

[WSUwatcher]

Just curious -- relevance police here -- what this has to do with Shocker basketball.

Can we get this moved, mods?

[shock]

I hate topic police

[shock-it-to-me]

I hate topic police

No kidding. There's like 3 active threads. Is it really such a problem?

[ShockdaWorld]

Really? Does it really matter? There's also a thread about the tragic events of Oct. 02 so many years ago (started by a mod i believe). Should we worry about why that's in the basketball topic as well? Or is somebody just suffering through a bit of manstration?

[Wuchalk]

Any and all things KU, seeing people in Wichita wearing KU shirts with KU license tags on their cars, WSU fans (?) who also are fans of KU (not possible for us REAL Shockers), lack of respect from national media concerning our conference and schedule (that has improved somewhat in the last couple of years), and people who think that a ticket to a sporting event gives them license to act like buffoons.

[Shocker85]

... people who think that a ticket to a sporting event gives them license to act like buffoons.

Oh man, this!

1) Fake fans. Example: This woman in my office, who the day of the KU vs NMSU games was asking about the score and high fiving the KU fans (she couldn't care less about the WSU vs IU game). Then the day after the KU vs WSU game she comes into my office and says "How 'bout them Shockers! Wasn't that awesome!" and puts her hand up to give me a high five, as if she has be a Shocker fan her whole life. Makes me sick.

2) Anyone who uses this sentence: "Yeah, but who did they play?"

3) People who try to tell you about their fantasy football team.

4) Monday morning quarterbacks: "Go for it! Go for it!..... AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! Are you kidding me! We should have punted!! WFT was he thinking! FIRE HIM NOW"
