Mine is when I'm watching a game I really care about with a large group of people and they think the game's over and insist on changing to another game just because one team is down 10-14 points.


That's mine also. Not just for TV games, either. I've probably witnessed dozens of comeback wins in football, and basketball, when this has happened, but I refused to leave or change the station. You live for these moments and people wanna leave before they happen?

If im not at the stadium, i cannot watch a game with people who are not as passionate as i am. Period.

I would rather watch the game by myself and hang out after in most cases

Pet peeve? Mine is watching a game at home and it's at a critical juncture in the second half, and the wife wants to talk about something that I have no interest in or that we've already discussed.

Please, just let me watch the game. And get me another beer.

Sideline reporters, usually a blonde female, that waste time during a game with some touchy-feely story about how Bobby Joe's little brother overcame a terminal broken cranium, or some shite to that effect. It usually causes one or two plays to be missed, is many times irrelevant to what is happening on the field, and is one of the few times I don't like seeing a hot babe in front of the camera.

Televised - switching between games and/or hearing the final score when I have the game recorded.

Stadium - crowd celebrations during player injury



My roommate had a Canadian FB League game on & Montreal's sound guy was playing rock/roll music when the opponent had a man down.
Yet, in that same game, when a Montreal player went down, it was dead silent.

The phrase "third and california"

People who try to start the wave in close games. Especially when it's a guy. Figs should know better

The guy who won't keep his mouth shut about what the coaches should do when he doesn't know anything about football. There was a guy next to me who kept insisting we needed to spy JFF with welter in 2013

God, I can't stand most of it except the actual games and the tailgating. Those parts I really like a lot though.

Agreed.

Even the split screen sucks.

Hell... I hate close ups of the QB during the game when I'd rather see the offensive and defensive formations/motions. Those damn close ups finish off about 1.5 seconds into the play.

TV timeouts... Before everygame was on TV, there was no such thing. The games had a better flow and big swings in momentum were not interrupted by mandatory TV breaks. The games were a lot shorter too.

TV games that last 4 hours! However, I don't like the rule that the clock continues to run when play goes out of bounds if not under 2 min in half or game.

Another is flag happy refs who think they are the shite.

I hate it every time I watch an offense lineup and then the quarterback looks away from the defense to get a signal from the sideline. Quaterbacks should call the plays on the field based on the strategy devised by the coach. More power should be delegated to the QB and the teams who do so will win more.

I'm old enough to remember when quarterbacks were in control.

I despise celebration penalties and taunting penalties.

I don't like all the bs coverage about non-game related stuff. I don't like the immature sports media. Most of the time, I don't like the people I'm sitting around. I don't like the big business part of cfb. Coaches are slime and do shitty things and players are no better s lot of time.
