God I hate SportsCenter, yet it's the only thing on when I go for my lunchbreak jog. The anchors always spout the same thing. I've heart Stuart Scott's "cool as the other side of the pillow" one at least nine times. If you hate SportsCenter as much as I do, check it out.

Yeah, I hate those guys. They drive me nuts. I just hate that everything has hosts and announcers and stuff. Shut your face I'm watching tv. When the race is on SILENCE! Nascar means No talking. If the house starts on fire I'll leave on the commercial and go watch it at the neighbors.

I don't mind it during the actual game, depending on the broadcasters. The only one's I can really tolerate are those on WGN/Comcast for Cubs games, but then again, that's baseball. However, most football announcers (esp. Fox's) piss me off. One reason I like watching tennis matches is that in during the action, they'll keep quiet, and when it's done they'll talk.
What I hate though is when watching highlights on SportsCenter, and these guys all try to be cute and funny, which they most certainly are not.

Ugh. Yes. I grew up listening to Cubs games so maybe that's why. I got spoiled. I know when I'm watching something I want the only sarcastic comments to come from me. I get very possesive of hte tv. Those announcers and the monkeys on sports center just piss me off. They're so dumb.

You know this kids like butter, because he's on a roll!
Nothing beats a pre-narcissistic a$$hole Craig Kilborn. :D

Hey, I liked Craig Killborn on SC. Why's he on that list?

I think it's just a name they assigned for people who try to be like him. In the first paragraph, they reference Kilborn's tenure as a "golden age", which I agree with. Everyone of them now are just a bunch of unoriginal copycats.

Ah, okay. I didn't read far enough into it (though I did notice that "Crackatoa" was missing and that made me happy. I loved that phrase).
