The Banes of My Existance

These are the 11 People in Sports who tend to tick me off the most. Some of them are on my favorite teams, others are on the enemies and are so god damn good that they never seem to fail.

Lloyd Carr - Lloyd Carr for the past 7 years has been a kick in the groin to my College Football fandom. Granted Michigan has never been completely terrible since 2000 and they have made a few Rose Bowls (They were crushed by USC and then couldn't stop the unstoppable Vince Young in the 2005 game), but he crushes the Wolverines chances of a National title on the first road game of every season. They haven't been undefeated in October since 1999, and to add to that they have lost 6 of 8 to Notre Dame, who haven't even been good, and friggin Ohio St, cheaters U.

The Cocky Trash Talking Guy - You know who you are, you're the guy that isn't any good but you sit there and trash talk anyway. Whether you're getting schooled on the court and think your great or are in last place in a fantasy league and proclaim yourself a genius, if aren't really really good at something leave the trash talking to someone who is.

Brian Scalabrine - The guy sucks, he gives Red heads around the world a bad name and Danny Ainge goes out and gives him a five year fifteen million dollar deal to basically rot on the bench and occasionally pollute the Celtics court with his presence. Scalabrine has a +/- of negative 1000 points a season I believe.

Chone Figgins - First of all this guy kills I mean absolutely kills the Yankees, he gets hit after hit steal after steal he's basically a mosquito. Secondly he tries to pronounce his name Shawn, no CHONE thats not how you pronounce your name, your mother was snortin som rock candy and couldn't spell when she gave birth to you live with it.

Carl Pavano - He wasn't worth the contract the Yankees gave him even if he pitched every game he was supposed to pitch instead he gets put on the DL with a sore buttocks and other nonsense injury. How Cashman and the Yankees tier and all the baseball analysts on ESPN ever proclaimed him the best Free Agent Pitcher on the market is beyond me. He had one good season on his contract year, name me one person that had one great season that happened to be their contract year and then went on to be worth their next fat contract.

Tom Brady - Obviously if I was a Patriots fan I would be in love with this guy, but I'm a Jet fan so he sucks. In addition to him winning three superbowls, he won basically nothing at all with Michigan. So he went from a guy who split time in college with Drew Henson, to the greatest QB of his generation with a chance to be the winningest QB in history. While my QB gets his shoulder ripped to shreds every year and I have to watch whatever horrible backup QB they have, Tom never gets hurt and he has yet to get hit by a truck like I have been hoping for, for the past 5 years. Hopefully he took massive amounts of Balco Steroids.

Joe Buck - Oh I can not stand Joe Buck. Every important boradcast he is there to bother me with his annoying whit and comments directed to a person who has never watched a professional sporting event in their lives. If Joe Buck announces the BCS title game, people should protest watching it to get someone who cares about the sport to announce it, and should ban the game entirely if the Buckeyes make it.

David Ortiz - I think he's passed Tom Brady as the most annoying player in professional sports. Without him and Manny the Red Sox have no lineup this year, zero lineup. Throw out any other Red Sox player they are insignifcant offensively. Ortiz and Manny are gods. Ortiz is always up in the 9th and always gets a hit, instead of letting him hit the ball how about someone hit him in the jaw, please hit him in the jaw. It's not even like he gets up in the 9th and you think well he's got a good shot to get a hit now, no it's he's going to get a hit, he's going to win the game, there's no if ands or buts, its automatic, and its terrible.

The Fake Sports Fan - You know who they are the ones that pretend to know everything and they really know absolutely nothing. The guy that proclaims the Yankees are dead because they are 3 games back on June 1st, or the guy who celebrates to no end when his team hits a homer even if they are still down by 5 runs. The flaky sports fan that won't like his team until they are a contender. These guys tick me off.

Pollsters - Especially idiots like Jason Whitlock, who voted for teams that he thought "would" win the national title, instead of voting for who is the best team in the country. Pollsters are so predictable with how they move teams around and even if a team like Auburn is blatantly better than Oklahoma, the year they got jobbed from the championship game, they won't be moved ahead of the other team because they were ranked so low in the preseason. And man do I hate the preseason polls, what a useless pile of crap.

Tele-Media Cable - They kill my baseball watching, it would be great to catch all the Red Sox games that are broadcast on ESPN but no, Tele-Media is a d-bag. I love baseball, but first I want to watch the Yankees, then I want to watch the Mets & Sox and then the rest of the league. And Tele-Media blocks the Mets & the Sox, they blow.

Tom Brady is a saint. (in the same way that Dorothy Mantooth is a saint)

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
