Stupid Statistics
Apr 15, 2008 | 4:18AM | report this
Ok who hasn't been sitting on the couch with your beverage and junk food of choice getting ready to watch a game only to hear the following...."When the temperature is less than 65 degrees by the start of the game the home team wins 74% of the time"?  Who is the loser that has the job of pulling up this useless information?  Just yesterday on ESPN radio I heard that someone (don't know who or care who it was) got his first NHL overtime playoff goal.  Does anyone really care about these statistics?  Do the odds makers in Vegas take these stats into account when they are setting the line?  How many of you consider these stats when you are getting in office pools for the NCAA tournament or the Super Bowl?  Its almost as bad as when John Madden gives us the "excellent" (insert sarcasim here) commentary of "the team that scores more is going to win this game".  So what are some of the other stupid statistics you have heard and do you place any stock in them.

Worst Sportcasters
Mar 26, 2008 | 5:48AM | report this

Where have all the great sportcasters gone?  Men like Keith Jackson and Howard Cosell.  Sportcasters that could call any game in any sport and would keep you on the edge of your seat.  These days it seems we have sportcasters that don't know the difference between the Wishbone and a hole in the ground.  Analysts that give you insight like "if they would score more points they would win more games".

So here is the question - Who are the worst most idiotic, hated or anoying sportcasters in all of sports?  I have two that top my list.  First is Lee Corso.  There is a joke in Alabama about the only thing Bama fans and Auburn Fans can agree on is they both hate Lee Corso.  Why do people listen to this guy.  He NEVER had a winning record as a head coach but it seems that people hang on his every word like he is a college football guru.  All he can tell you is how to lose.  It would be like me getting tips on being a championship boxer from Butterbean.  The second is #### Vital.  I won't argue that Dicky V knows his stuff, but if I had to listen to him using the term "baby" on a regular basis I would go postal.  I want emotion and an upbeat personality not someone who acts like a kid with ADD on a sugar high.  So let me hear it - Who are some other sportcasters that need to go away for one reason or another or if nothing else just shut up?

I am just your average sports fan who believes the following: 1 - Div. 1 college football needs a playoff. 2 - The SEC is the toughest conference. 3 - Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and USC are the most over-rated teams in college football. 4 - An attractive woman who knows sports is every man's fantasy. 5 - The MLB season is too long. 6 - The DH in baseball needs to be done away with. 7 - The government needs to stay out of sports because they mess up everything they get involved in.
