I'm not a big fan of sports "analysts"...

Category Everything Else
... in that far too many of them end up stating the obvious or they explain the play as if they know exactly what was supposed to happen.

Then you have the ones that need to hype a situation to incredible levels...  Like today...

This is week 1 of the 16 game National Football League schedule.  The Seattle Seahawks were playing the Detroit Lions.  Seattle made a play that preserved the win.  In the game highlights, one of the announcers described it as a play that "may have saved Seattle's season"...

THIS IS WEEK 1!!!!!!

And I thought discussing the playoff picture after week 3 couldn't be topped...

Gravatar Image1 - I totally agree. I really hate when they make players out to be "heroes" or that games are "battles" or "wars". These players get paid millions to catch a frigging ball.

If they want to see real battles and wars, let's send the sports guys to Iraq and Afganistan, there coverage couldn't be any worse than the news channels, and at least then when they say "that was a real battle" they will be telling the truth.

Gravatar Image2 - Agreed. I can't stand media hype of any kind. It usually distorts the truth. For football, I'm a Cowboys fan. At least, I was a die hard Cowboy fan as a kid. Anyway, enough about everything that Terrell Owens does. I'd like to know what the rest of the team is doing but the media doesn't care.
They harp on the same story over and over again.
