By tired of I mean hate. This has been done before but its always fun.
1. Todd McShay: For months now, Ive endured your man-crush on Jake Locker. Now ESPN has you on to talk about college football match-ups and not just the players. You, obviously, don't know anything about either and come off as such a prick that I'd rather watch <something graphic about Lou Holtz and Betty White here>.*
2. Pam Ward, Rod Gilmore,Anyone ESPN sends that isn't working on of the games of the week: Hammond at NBC would be on that list, but there's no reason to watch ND.
3. Big Ten Coaches: They are so boring. Yes, Dantonio looks like an axe murder, and the Vest wears vests; but did any of them inseminate a turkey? Spurrier isn't a quote worthy as he once was but still has a gem every now and then. Kiffykins is mad dickish, Chip Kelly is a mad bomber, and Miles is a mad hatter. Hell, even the Big East has this:
Is it a conspiracy to make JoePa seem lively?
4. BCS Auto-bids: If you're good enough to get in, then you're in. Spots shouldn't be held for anybody. I'd watch an NC State vs Syracuse Orange Bowl, but most wouldn't.
5. Side-Line Reporters: Do they add any value? Here's a sample of every exchange:
Booth: And now we'll go down to the field to (Side-line reporter's name)
Side-Line [Screaming to be heard over crowd]: THANKS (booth guy), I HAD A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO THE COACH AND HE SAID IS TEAM IS SCORING BECAUSE THEY ARE MOVING THE BALL OFFENSIVELY
Booth: Sorry, but here they're trying to convert this third and seven <Play><Replay of Play><Another Angle of Play>
Back down to (Side-line)
Side-Line: THEY ARE MOVING THE BALL WELL, BUT THE COACH DOESN'T WANT TO GET TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE RUN. LOOK FOR MORE RUNS IN THE SECOND HALF
