Why The NFL & ESPN Annoy Me

I’m hoping it’s not just me here folks.  The NFL is quite annoying.  ESPN has to share a large portion of the blame too … I think half of their coverage in the NFL’s off season is still about football.  Let’s start with the NFL first though:

First, the players get really excited when they do their job … why do people enjoying watching them putz around?  Second, you seem to have to drink and eat and talk during the games because it is a constant starting and stopping.  I believe it is likely they play only a quater and the time the clock is running.  On this point, my third problem is that these guys are tired!  They can’t possibly be out for more than 8 minutes of actual playing time per game … aren’t these guys supposed to be athletes?  I could probably go on, in fact maybe I should start a list, watch out for an update.

Now we move on to ESPN.  You should consider yourself lucky if you see hockey coverage on ESPN.  To top that the anchors think they are important for some reason.  Do those guys actually get paid or do they volunteer because it makes them feel important?

I don’t want to harp … it’s tiring to be annoyed with so much.
