What's the dumbest recurring thing in sports?

Or less teams make the playoffs.

 

These were all excellent. Can't believe I didn't think of Fox baseball coverage.

As a corollary to "thanking God", I'll go with skypointing. I'm looking at you, Albert & Luke. Just annoys me for whatever reason.

 

ESPN..

 

Televising non-sports and including them in sports programming like they are real sports (see golf, bowling, NASCAR)

 

T-Mac is a midget?

 

playing jason lane.

or people blaming the coach when players choke

 

Ooh, good one - especially Tim McCarver and Jeannie Zelasko. Those 2 just exacerbate that situation.

 

and Kevin Kennedy, and Joe Buck, and Scooter, and Josh Lewin, and...

 

Why do you hate America?

 

they rarely show astros games up here so i'm stuck with yanks, mets, braves and whatever scraps are left from espn, fox etc. 99% of the time it's game on sound off, music cranked. sigh. the only live games i attend are my son's peewee games, (he got two doubles last week ), and the brooklyn cyclones.

 

Well, yeah they have a finger in the mess that is Fox baseball but man Zelasko and McCarver suck the most (I forgot about Scooter, though - he's pretty bad, too).

 

The poorly broadcoast here in Mexico of the NBA (not to mention the 1 or 2 rockets game in the season, well 3 if you count the playoffs)

And sometimes when they show basketball, its after the infomercial about losing weight, and about the 1 am they star the NBA game!!

 

"A curveball is a ball that CURVES!"

Thank you, Scooter.

I don't know if it is the "dumbest" recurring theme in sports. However, yearly the Rockets have little talent with which to make a trade, except for the core player or two.
