I like watching NFL.  I like the energy and the testosterone, and I really like the lazy Sunday afternoons.  But I hate announcers and their stupid statistics.  "The Eagles haven't won a game by more than 2 points when they've been down by 14 points after the first 2 minutes of the second quarter."  Wow, that's great.  So much information in such a useful sentence.  Thanks, people like Joe Buck.  Now I can stop watching that game because I know exactly what's gonna happen.  Thanks.  Idiot. 

There's this other thing that happens that really gets to me:  Right at the end of the second quarter, when everybody's going to the locker room and some sportscaster interviews one of the players or coaches, they all ask the same stupid questions:  "How do you feel about your performance in the first half?"  "We had a tough first half.  We made a few mistakes but had a few nice plays.  The key to the second half will be to come out and play some good football, make fewer mistakes and score some more points."  Wow.  Once again, so much information in such a powerful sentence.  But I can't really blame the players or the coaches.  They give the right answer.  It's those dumb sportscasters who ask the same stupid questions all the time.  What do you think their game plan is gonna be?  "We'll stop running and passing the ball and just depend on special teams and defense."  Why don't sportscasters instead ask, "What's your favorite color?  How many kittens do you think you could eat at one time?  What's your least favorite word?"  I think these questions would be more useful than the stupid nonsense that currently comes dribbling out of their mouths. #sports
