Things in sports that annoy me: ESPN News

The concept of ESPN News was pretty good: We’ll create a sports channel you can visit  any time to see all the day’s highlights.
Sounds pretty good to me. Except that ESPN News is lame.
You’d think a channel devoted to nothing but sports highlights would give you thorough coverage of sports, right?

Things in sports that annoy me: flat bills in baseball

Things in sports that annoy me: Baseball players who pull their pant legs down

Okay, sure. This may sound petty. But it annoys me when baseball players pull the legs of their pants all the way down to their ankles.
First of all, it reminds me of those nimrods who wear jeans when they play softball. Secondly, it just looks dumb.
Check out Vlad Guerrero here. I don’t know about you, but this [...]
