its a bye week and I cant stand the teams on Monday night so out of boredom thought I would throw out some things that are starting to bug me about the NFL--not the obvious like I think I am beginning to hate almost all the media associated with not only the Cowboys but the league, but the little things like:
1. the red challenge flag. Notice how some coaches give it a good heave; some hold onto it like it is made of fly paper and they cant get it out of their pocket; some kind of just drop it like they are embarrased.
I think that it should be required to be heaved out onto field of play almost to the hash marks. Youre going to challenge a call - act like it, not like you are listening to 10 voices in your head and cant make a decision
2. some helmet logos. I am starting to really question the Titans logo? The shield part is fine, but who thought it was a good idea to add the flames. Does that make the players look faster? Maybe the Steelers should add flames to their logo too?
The Lions logo--being the local team, I have to say their throwback uni's look great but that lion on the side of the regular helmets!!!? From a distance it just looks like a blob or a map of some Polynesian island. Fits with them being the worst franchise in history.
3.Players wearing 3 carat diamond studs during a game. Hey, they make the money and they can do what they want, but dont you just cringe when they pull off their helmets? I just expect once that the stud will snag and fly off. Next thing you know the whole offense will be down on their knees looking in the grass trying to help the guy who lost it
4.Crappy grass fields. I mean it is the NFL. They got enough money. Keep extra rolls of sod around to keep the field between the 20's in top notch shape.
5.Coaches headsets. They look uncomfortable to begin with, but some guys must go through a dozen a year. They yank on them, they twist them, they pull them off to hear something then pull them back on. Maybe something like a bluetooth or that size would suffice. Though I did love back in the day when the headsets where connected by wire and they had some lucky kid in charge of following the coach and keeping the wire free. What a great job that must have been
6.Tony Kornheiser-no wait that guy really irritates me. I find myself screaming "shut up" at the tv when he talks
7. Bellichik and his hoodie and now Sparano and what ever he was wearing yesterday. It looked like a sheet with a couple holes in it. I kind of liked it when some coaches were wearing suits on the sidelines--it was classy. Bellicik looks like he found that thing at the bottom of the Charlie Weiss' laundry--size XXXXXXXXXL
Got any more minor irritants?
