The 10 most overrated things in sports

Here is the second installment of a new column called ‘Top 10 Things In Sports’, a new weekly activity that I will be doing. Here’s his list of the top 10 things in sports that we think are overrated and that people care too much about.

# 10 NHL regular season

There were a lot of mixed emotions about me ditching the NHL from ‘Top 10 things in sports that suck,’ but don’t worry about hockey haters. The NHL regular season, superficial and pedantic, is on this list. Go watch a regular season hockey game and then tell me it should be on ESPN. In the NHL, if it’s not the playoffs, it’s not interesting, unless it’s sixty minutes of fighting.

# 9 Bad NBA teams

The lowest-level teams in the National Basketball Association can achieve a new goal this season by featuring three teams with fewer than twenty wins. If it happens, it will be the first time since 2001 that the league has had at least three such teams. This year’s competitors are the Minnesota Timberwolves (17-50), the Memphis Grizzlies (16-51), the Seattle SuperSonics (16-52) and the current leader Miami Heat (12-55). Next year, to be fair, I think the Heat should move on to NCAA College Division II basketball. People have always said that any team in the NBA can beat another team on any given night, but if you’re going to tell me right now, it’s insane!

# 8 Weird NFL Game Times

In case anyone was wondering, NFL games are supposed to be played on Thanksgiving, Sundays, and every Monday night, but the league seems to think otherwise. NFL, why don’t you stop playing with us and scheduling random games on Thursday and Saturday nights? it would be highly appreciated.

# 7 Watch baseball on TV

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the sport of baseball, America’s so-called “hobby,” but watching baseball on TV is not the same as being in the game. The ball is almost never in play, you lose concentration so easily while doing other things and you will miss the whole episode of “Lost.” Go to the stadium next time. The worst Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Pittsburgh Pirates, or Kansas City Royals in your league will really appreciate your business.

# 6 Referees

As a kid I was always taught to treat the referee with respect and I did the best I could, except for the moment when I punched the bad old man (just kidding), but recently a lot of referees have really gotten on my nerves. If these guys want respect from the players, then they need to stop making horrible calls, and that’s okay to bet on the games.

# 5 Pro All-Star Games

I’m going to go ahead and say it: if you watch the NFL Pro-Bowl, you have too much free time. You really need to go find a hobby or something if that’s the case. More than that, I don’t like All-Star games because who wants to see superstars play each other and look just normal when they can play mediocre players on other teams and look great?

# 4 Part Of College Football Bowling Season

It really bothers me when I see a bowling game on TV the last week of December and then it’s kind of like the New Orleans Bowl. I think once when I was younger, all the bad bowling games made me sick, gave me chicken pox, and made me miss a week of school. But this year, when they put on the International Bowl on January 5 and the GMAC Bowl on January 6, it really made me want to throw up.

# 3 MMA

Before you attack me with this, let me tell you that I have seen mixed martial arts before. The problem is that every time I’ve seen it, the two guys “fighting” just end up on top of each other fucking and fighting like little girls. At least The Rock really had moves in the fight, you know, like people’s elbows.

N ° 2 “Experts” in sports of specific knowledge

Guys like Mel Kiper Jr. and Joe Lunardi really piss me off because they seem to get paid and can be on TV for no reason. Both guys are called “experts” in the NFL draft and braces, respectively. The problem I see with that is that they never tell me anything that I don’t know or that I can’t look up.

# 1 College Basketball RPI

The RPI, or Rating Percentage Index, is outdated and due to the NCAA’s changing mindset, they really need to get rid of that. It is obvious that the NCAA college basketball selection committee did not use the RPI as much as a factor this year because while Dayton and the state of Illinois (ranked 32nd and 33rd on the RPI) did not enter the tournament, Kentucky and Oregon (57th and 58th on the RPI) did. Personally, I think it’s a stupid and incomplete statistic, so the NCAA should do us all a favor and get rid of it. And you guys probably used silliness to help fill in your parentheses. Fools!
