Things I Could Do Without in My Life: Sports Commentating

It's piss and moan Monday, folks, so let's talk about something that's chapped my ass for a long time. Sports commentators. With both the NLCS and ALCS in full swing, we're getting an up front view of just how bad these hacks are. Take that asshole Joe Buck for instance. Here's a guy who got where he was because of his daddy and is clearly uninterested in America's favorite past time. He also knows nothing about the Philadelphia Phillies and the team's history, despite having called their games for years now.

While John Madden is borderline senile (stating that a team needs yards adds nothing to the football experience), Buck is more or less the consummate pessimist. He always finds a way to throw a subtle negative comment in there. Watching his diarrhea of the mouth around the 7th inning stretch is akin to that spectacular crash on Tuesday around 11AM after a long weekend of ingesting methamphetamines.

For good measure, here's my pal Artie Lange ripping on Buck's train wreck of a talk show, Joe Buck Live. Remember when Chevy Chase had his own talk show? Buck makes him look like a regular fucking Cronkite.
