I love sports. I always have and I'm sure I always will. There are just some things that I just can't stand about them and the advertisements that are played during them aimed at sports fans. Here are a few of mine-I'd be interested in knowing some of yours.
1. The "Get In The Hole" yell after every golf shot. This may have been funny the first time someone did it, but now it's just stupid. If you get caught saying it, they should throw you off the course.
2. Baseball hitters going through a dance after every pitch. I know that people have a routine, but this is just utterly ridiculous. Nomar Garciaparra was the worst-I haven't seen him play in a while, but I'm sure he still does it. Get in the box and stay there!
3. Sideline/courtside reporters. There are two that I like-Paul McGuire and Tony Siragusa, and the reason I think I like them is because they are constantly making fun of themselves for being on the field. They are actually watching what is going on in the game instead of trying to find a "scoop". The interviews are terrible and why do they always shake their heads up and down when the other person is talking?
4. NFL contracts. I hope when they do their new labor agreement that they get someone in there that knows something about how contracts work. The current NFL contracts may as well be written in crayon because other than the guaranteed signing bonus, it means NOTHING!
5. Stadiums and arenas playing the YMCA song. The dance is even more annoying than the song. If the government ever needs to torture someone, they should make someone sit with a headset on with this song on loop.
6. The wave. This is just so 1983. It's just not fun to do anymore.
7. Under Armour commercials. They are THE worst. First you had to protect your house. Now you're a prototype. That knucklehead yelling at the top of his lungs. It's just dumb.
8. The Coors Light "code blue" commercial. OK, big whoop-you have a cold beer. One guy jumps off golf cart (where there should be beer anyway), one gets his right side of his head shaved because he jumps out of a barber's chair, one jumps off a boat (which should have beer anyway), others leave work, all for a cold beer? It's just not funny.
9. Planter's "Unibrow Beauty" commercial. I just don't like this commercial because she is so hideous and it reminds me of a blind date that my friends tried to set me up with. Some friends, huh?
10. Text messaging. OK, it has nothing to do with sports, but why do people go through the trouble-either make a call or send an email-I just don't get it.
number 4 is the only one I agree with. I strongly disagree with the wave, I don't know how you can't appreciate seeing the way it looks as it matriculates around the stadium, it's one of my favorite sights at a football game.
BLEEDPRPL&GLD.... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ME TO RATHER A CELTIC OR A LAKER GAWD LETS MOVE ON THE SEASON HAS ENDED!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS BASEBALL SEASON NOW!!!!
I'm actually glad the rivalry is back. Thanks C's for putting the 21 years of "blah" towards you to rest. Now all of us Laker fans can comfortably hate you again and actually have a recent reason for it.
Great series, you played harder and that's why you won it.
the idiots that think they are cute by getting drunk and nutts 3 hours before a university of oregon football game!!!!! you know these drunks who are already staggering and blurring eyed... my question is why even waste your time??? hey once i was one of those now i go to see the game and then remember the game without reading about the next day??? the game i was at?????
