Craig Counsell's batting stance really pisses me off.

Announcers referring to injuries and only referencing appendages e.g. "he's out with a leg"

Usually they're usually more specific, like "he's out with an upper thigh".

The phrase "retires the side". I have no reasoning, but somehow it bugs the shite out of me.

Blatant flops in the NBA. I can understand falling down when you have mild contact, but when you arent even hit and it gets called and then you have to watch the highlights 5 times in 30 seconds on TV while the announcers even talk shite about the refs on how they shouldnt miss that, basically reading your mind.

The weird uneven stripes of an NFL official's uniform.

Pitchers not being able to throw strikes. I understand if you have a long at bat that results in a walk or walk one here and there, but I get pissed off when a pitchers walks two or three in a row or is otherwise just wild. Your a fricking pitcher. It's not that hard to throw a damn strike.

Officials in every sport. It's the easiest job in all of sports and they're consistently bad in every single one. Basketball is the worst of all though NFL is a close second.

Stupid phrases that every NFL commentator has to say : "moxie", "player like A drew brees, Tom Brady", "parity", or whatever the word/phrase of the season is.

Home plate umpires throwing new baseballs back to the pitcher. Just hand the ball to the catcher.

The stupid looking half stripe/reflective stipes/V neck collars and shitty looking rubber patches on many NFL, NHL, MLB, college uniforms. Anytime I watch a game on TV, and the network flashes some graphic with someone's Twitter name. Yellow/red/blue/green other distracting lines or graphics on the damn screen watching most football games today. All the excessive camera angles watching football games.

Calling it "pass interference" instead of "catch interference". DLinemen are always "interfering" passes....they just bat them down.

Stupid sports phrases like
"it's a make or miss league"
"They just wanted it more"
"If we could've gotten a few stops"



No shite.

Whenever a game gets out of hand early and the commentators just get super cringy for two quarters of a shite fest.
