Sports pet peeves...

[Ugly Uncle]

Let's hear yours.

Mine, a woman calling a college football game (ugh, this VT vs. OSUlite game)

[Razorback_Mack]

People complaining about announcers

[Ugly Uncle]

You're late to the party.

I guess so.

This is just horrible.

[12247]

I noted it sounded different but I really don't care. 

[bphi11ips]

If it weren't for her obvious attempt to sound like a man, Beth Mowins is pretty good compared to a lot of the part-timers calling games during bowl season. She's gotten better as an announcer.

[Chorizo Hogriguez]

Obama March Madness bracket!


they probably go back to him again after he not the President even! TV ratings or what?

[oldbear]

Nothing is worse than the baseball group hugs they call fights. Unless o course Nolan Ryan is involved.

[Dark Helmet Hog]

I guess so.

She is terrible. I had to turn the channel.

She made me turn off football. I can't forgive that.

[Torqued pork]

Too many tear-jerking stories. Sometimes it seems as if ESPN confuses red-blooded American males for estrogen-oozing women looking for a reason to cry.

[casken]

Sportscasters delving into politics and social issues rather than sticking to the game.

ESPN has lost it's way.

This. And 5 minute commercial breaks, half of it for the channel or game you are already watching.

[hobhog]

How about close ups of a coach/fan/moon while team is at line of scrimmage.

[Tejano Jawg]

I hate it that guys bash women doing football games. (Including me.) But that doesn't change the fact I hate women doing football games.

This is an old one, but the money is ridiculous. The salaries, the endorsement deals, all of it. But I'll keep watching, mostly.

[SultanofSwine]

Will take Beth all day everyday on a football broadcast over Bill Walton on basketball.

[hawkhawg]

Constantly complaining about the officials.

[bphi11ips]

Do you know how many state parks are on the Willamette River...

[Airforcehawg]

Suzie kobert's voice is awful. I would rather hear Bill Walton yodel than hear her yap on NFL pregame. I also not a fan overly excited announcers...like the dude that always calls the college football games on Fox

Yes.  This.

Also, Jeremy Schaap and his outside the lines.  I don't listen anymore but it seemed like every. single. episode. was about the bravery of some soul "coming out" in a sports locker room. 

So tired of hearing about who is gay.

It's great watching the replay of robin ventura charging the mound and Nolan kicking his butt.  Best part was he was not tossed out, but Ventura was.

Honestly, if Hogville is any indication, there are a lot of whiny, thin-skinned, hysterical men watching football.

Here's a pet peeve of mine: the term "break contain".  "You can't let Jalen Hurts break contain!"

And "get a blow".  "He had four carries in a row, so he's gonna go get a blow."

[MavND1973]

Hack sports journalists who present their asinine opinion as fact.

Sports journalists who fail to recognize it's time to retire and then become laughing stocks, or bitter.

That last one cracks me up every time. I keep expecting to see a player on the sideline getting a BJ from a coed.

[BOAR_N2BWILD]

Listening to her is worse than finger nails on a chalk board or teeth on a fork

[EastexHawg]

I second this.  The Olympics especially have become almost unwatchable.

Others are:

Choreographed celebrations.  I would love to watch a modern day Dick Butkus run onto the field and clothesline some idiot or group of idiots leapfrogging each other or sitting under the goal post pretending to open a Christmas present.

Quarterbacks who can't execute an even slightly sophisticated passing game.  What coach who is worth a flip puts an alleged QB on the field who may be able to run but is incapable of running a passing attack above high school level?   There is a term for players who line up in the backfield but can't pass.   They are known as running backs.

Major League Baseball players who can't or won't square up and lay down a bunt.  I knew how to turn, slide my hand up the bat, and "catch" the ball with it when I was 12 or 13 years old.  The jabbing at it crap that we see so much today is ridiculous.

There are more, but that's a good start.

[berryhog]

The phrase "score the ball".

[SPAL]

The mentality that the refs, ESPN, the NCAA, and everybody is out to get us.

[Peter Porker]

Hogville members not knowing how to spell the name of athletes that play for their favorite team.

[Ugly Uncle]

The phrase "score the ball".

Oh...I hate that one.

[ErieHog]

Nick 'Sabin'.

Complaints about Targeting

Complaints about officiating.

[Peter Porker]

When basketball coaches, like Mike Anderson, say "rebound the basketball", "our basketball team", "score the basketball", etc.

Agree, Suzie Kolbert (sp) voice is horrible. Beth Mowins is fine. Better than many others. But my main sports peeve is watching basketball and the players having different colored shoes on the same team.

I've often wondered about this.

I remember all of us getting the same shoes on the same day.  Thought it was the greatest thing in the world that the whole team would have the exact same shoe.

Now...

[hotdog hog]

1-Kneeling for the National Anthem
2-Paying more to park than I did for my game ticket.
3-Drunks that disrespect the people around them. OK with drunks, but not the ones that act like idiots. Costs too much to put up with this bull.
4-Skip Bayless
5-Concession pricing
6-TV timeouts

Now...

basketball in particular seems to be becoming more about individualism. It's one thing that is wrong with the game nowadays.

Agreed. Idc if the hogs are in the national championship and i have a perfect bracket. I'll listen to a fuzzy radio broadcast before i listen to that hippie ramble about rain, ice cream, and his favorite state park in Oregon.
