The 64 most annoying people in sports media 2019

Fucking travesty that Pierre McGuire does not appear to be on this list.

 

That's the playbook for these fucking things and it drives me crazy. Any list of "the worst" includes the people making the list. It's to show that you're supposed to have a sense of humour about these things, I guess? But, like, have some courage. If you're going to be an asshole and make a list like this, go full asshole. Don't be mealy mouthed about it.

The Spun surfaces on this site once a year. This time of year.

 

Simmons falling to a 4 seed seems shocking. He was powerhouse 1 seed for a decade.

 

Never Go Full

 

Portnoy wins this award in a rout.
Golic gets shelled in the National Championship game.
I wish there was a celebrity deathmatch between the two where the loser got his throat torn apart, and the winner had to spend the rest of his life in a dark cave.

 

Which Golic? Or is it a family entry?

 

This is some bullshit project. I find many of these entrants annoying, but most are just people who're on TV a lot. That by itself is not grounds for being annoyed unless you've dropped the cable clicker between the sofa cushions again. I don't watch the cable babblers and I'm old enough now to know that since I've been bitching about play by play and color guys for over 50 years, the problem may be systemic, not the personal failings of the broadcasters.

 

It’s the Ewing Theory. Once he left ESPN, he lost his ability to be annoying.

 

Yes

 

It could be worse. It could be another "who's on this sport's Mt. Rushmore?"

 

Clearly he needs to climb a 57,000-foot mountain in Siberia to back the eye of the tiger and find his own Mr. Miyagi to help him.

 

I have never heard Clark Kellogg say anything interesting.

The streak will not be broken this year.

I’ll bet a Chuckxido on it.
