This is a good one. The fact that they kept repeating it just confounded me. At least some of these other ones started out as great stories. This one just had no substance from the start.

Did you know that Aaron Craft was valedictorian of his high class and played quarterback and can also complete a Rubik's cube in under a minute?

Well, once you told us 1000 times yes we did know that.

Laurinaitis' dad was a professional wrestler. Matter of fact, get this, he was in the Road Warriors.

"Spencer Ware is from Cincinnati (went to Princeton High School)" Herbstreit or Musburger says this every LSU game.

Isaiah Thomas got his name because his dad lost a bet on the Lakers vs. Pistons Finals Series. Probably more run into the ground only if you watched him play at UW or for Sacramento.

"Aaron Craft is the best on-ball defender in the country."

No shite, but I swear half the time the announcers have no clue what that means...just reading from a script.
