I'll start and this might be an obscure one that makes me irrate:

In Football, when the team you are rooting for is in Shotgun with less than 8 seconds on the Play Clock, and the Guard has to turn around in his stance to have a full blown conversation with the QB.

Sideline reporters reciting some stupid anecdote they memorized while an exciting play is happening.

The college football calendar

Punters being bad at their jobs and not utilizing the coffin corner drill we all learned in Madden when we were 12

The lack of accountability for owning a shite team for decades

The toothless NCAA

Intentional grounding penalty should be five yards from spot of foul.

Refs wanting to call a PF against Mahomes when he was five yards in bounds. I am glad someone stepped in.

Production booths thinking that anyone wants to see full screen interviews w/the game reduced down to a small square in the corner of the screen while play is happening.

On a related note, be consistent at least in how they call targeting. It’s pretty much in the eye of the beholder in college officiating at this point.
A 2nd one: I absolutely hate the current trend of sideline reporters interviewing coaches during the game. frick off until half time and let them do their job.
