1) All of this bouncing and verbal jawing before football games. The Chargers and Broncos did it before the Monday night game last week, and the Florida Gators and Mississippi State Bulldogs did the same on Saturday.
Referees and coaches had to intervene to "break things up." This is the biggest crock I've ever seen. Before the game, the players try to pretend that they don't like each other, but that's bull. If they truly despised one another, they certainly wouldn't be huddling prayer after the game.
2) Predictions about how a rookie is the "next .... " after a few good games. It happened with Mark Sanchez, and he promptly went out and tossed five interceptions while leading his team to a three-game losing streak. Mark Sanchez is not the next Joe Namath, and let me save you the trouble, Michael Crabtree is not the next Jerry Rice.
3) Politicians from crappy little states calling out the Bowl Championship Series. Look, I want a playoff as much as anyone, but it's not going to happen in the near future. That being said, Utah senator Orrin Hatch needs to cool it. If you don't play in a major conference, you don't get a shot at a national championship. That's how it works.
But Hatch is no dummy. He knows how much the Utes mean to the voting public in his state, and he's trying to gain some popularity in the hopes of being re-elected. We saw it with that idiot Arlen Specter, and we're seeing it now.
Please, and this includes President Obama: leave sports alone. Do some work to make this country a bit better, because right now, it stinks.
