Top 10 things in sports that suck
I’m introducing a new column called ‘Top 10 Things In Sports’, a new weekly thing I’ll be doing. Here’s his list of the top 10 things in sports that we’re tired of hearing about, hate, or just plain suck at.
With that, let the suction begin.
#10 Ban on NFL celebrations
The new league rule that prevents players like Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens from using their creativity and grace to celebrate should be considered a crime. Let the men spread their wings a bit, no accessories allowed? that’s stupid.
#9 ESPN Hot Seat
At first, Hot Seat was cool and something new, but now it’s like a boring desk job: the same thing every day. For those unfamiliar, Hot Seat is a daily portion on SportsCenter where a guy from ESPN asks a guest questions. One of the main problems is when
Skip Bayless, who, by the way, is only a few places short of this list, is in charge. Instead of asking the other person for his opinion, he just argues with them and barely lets them utter a sentence.
#8 Yankees vs. Red Sox rivalry
The most overrated and oversized rivalry in all of sports. The New York Yankees play the Boston Red Sox about fourteen times a season, but I don’t care. Every offseason is like a prime-time drama for these teams, and every year they add more big names to the two evil empires. See what the new US immigration policy should be if you have any questions.
#7 Congress
Leave my sports alone, Congress, no one wants you to mess with things you have no idea about. As if the senators weren’t happy enough to ruin our country, now they have to take away our sports. Congress, go home and save some rain forests or something.
#6 Arrests of NFL Players
Michael Vick, Jamal Lewis, Pacman Jones, Chris Henry, Tank Johnson, David Boston, the list goes on. Whatever happens with professional athletes being good role models for kids because in the NFL, that has definitely gone down the drain lately. Good job, Roger Goodell!
#5 spy door
I really hope everyone knows that every team in the NFL spies on other teams because if they don’t, then they get out of the bubble that they live in. I don’t want to hear about Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. They were in the news every day in the fall because of their quest for perfection; I don’t want to see their ugly faces on the cover of ESPN every day in the spring too.
#4 steroids in baseball
Baseball players take steroids, why can’t people just accept that? Nobody cares about Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds anymore; Sure they’re cheaters, but so is half of America. And in case anyone is wondering, Bud Selig is part of the problem and just adding fuel to the fire.
#3 NFL Network
The only reason NFL Network is rated higher than Bryant Gumbel is because they have other employees; still sucks. It really sucks for NFL fans because the league doesn’t care if anyone watches NFL Network games. You would think that with all the money they get from high subscription fees, they could afford more than four cameras for live streams.
#2BCS
As the 2007-2008 college football season proved, the Bowling Championship Series is one of the biggest jokes in all of sports. Letting the voters decide the fate of the top teams without a playoff system is absolutely ridiculous, but don’t worry sports fans. If there are more years like this past, a playoff will have to be closer to reality…eventually.
#1 Bryant Gumbell
Is there really any question as to whether or not Gumbel’s younger brother is the worst sportscaster of all time? I could name around 100 (million) people who could do a better job than him. He talks too much, interrupts other commentators and thinks he’s the most important, but long story short, Bryant Gumbel couldn’t comment on him coming out of a paper bag. Last season’s Green Bay Packer-Dallas Cowboy game showed him at his best, stating that Romo was the Packers’ quarterback and his first name is Rick. Rick Romo is sure to have great success in the NFL.
