It's the most annoying time of the year



Media Week is by far the most annoying time of the NFL season, and year after year, it's getting worse. Hordes of reporters - if you'd even call them that - land at the site of the Super Bowl and ask the absolute dumbest questions you could imagine.

"What toilet paper do you use?"
"If you were a bird, what kind of bird would you be?"
"Do you prefer Coke of Pepsi?"
"How often do you clip your toenails?"

Some of the moments can be entertaining, but most of them are just trying to get on SportsCenter to claim their 15 minutes of fame. And speaking of the self-proclaimed worldwide leader, they lead the charge in annoyingness ... Look I love football, but they just won't stop, and most of the time, they're just trying to get someone to say something that can be over examined.

For example, Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said he wants this defense to give Colts quarterback a few "remember-me hits." So ESPN jumps on that and claims the Saints will be "headhunting" on Super Sunday. Really? From what I understand, football is being played, not chess.

If they Saints are to win, they're going to need to knock Manning down as much as possible. But I digress.

The point is, wake me up when the game starts.

Awesome! Nice idea, but will this really work?
