The professional old guys on ESPN or TNT that want the old guys like Kidd, Duncan, etc in the all-star game because they're on winning teams. I want excitement and entertainment, not guys on winning teams who are ready to apply for AARP, and might break their hip during warm ups. The playoffs are for winning teams.

I am looking at you Mike Brown, you fuckhole.

Might I add Andre Miller who criticized the addition of Blake Griffin to the All-Star Game because he's not enough of a "blue-collar" player. It means a lot coming from someone who tanked in his one season as a Clipper.

[Trendy Bastard]

What is a "blue-collar" player anyway? Or have I been out of the NBA loop for too long ?

Griffin has been one of the most exciting and biggest impact players in the NBA this season, and should definitely be participating in the All-Star game.

It means Andre wants to have babies with Mark Madsen.

Pre-season/Spring Training fluff articles.

reminds me of how much I hated reading the AFC West teams' forums at the old thenflforums, as they were bombarded with fluff (thanks, Angel, SuperCharger, Boltman, the Merc refugees, and others).

What's the point of having insurance if you wind up having to pay 400-500 bucks for a visit anyways?

Idiots at Subway who don't realize their store sells two different steak and cheese sandwiches. They have the regular steak and cheese and the "Big Philly Cheese Steak" (which is basically the same thing only with extra meat.)

This idiocy is two-fold. First, Subway is stupid for basically having the same sandwich on their menu twice. If someone wants extra meat why not just give the option to order that for an added charge? (You know, like they used to with their "double meat, double cheese" options?)

Secondly, since Subway is nevertheless stupid with their menu their idiot employees always get confused. I just want a regular steak and cheese and inevitably one of two things happens.

1. Either the preparer starts to put that extra tray of meat on. Then as I explain I just want the "regular" steak and cheese the idiot tells me "I know, it comes with three trays!" (I wouldn't complain about extra meat except they're going to charge me for it)

or

2. I get what I order, but then I get to the register and the idiot cashier over-charges me for it. When I explain to him/her that the sandwich only costs 7 bucks they respond "no, it's 8 dollars". I then have to explain their menu to them that the "Big Philly Cheese Steak" is 8 bucks and I ordered the regular less-meat 7 dollar sandwich.

Intros on YouTube videos.

You're not a hotshot Hollywood producer. Nobody gives a shit about who you are so don't waste 15 seconds of the video with some lame shot of your username spinning in circles or shooting down to the screen.

Morons who enter a wrestling discussion to inform us that wrestling is fake.

No shit, douchebag. What's your next brilliant observation? That the Matrix was really nothing but special effects and tricky camera work? Then are you going to tell me that the Simpsons are really just drawings?

[Kingdom]

It's fake? Shit, man, Mickey Rourke's character probably died in The Wrestler!

[HollywoodLeo]

That reminds me. Wrestling fans who want to play the semantics debate in response to said morons.

Yes, the wrestling is choreographed, which can be argued as different from outright "fake". Yes, the injuries are often real. But when a douchebag enters a discussion to call it "fake" he's obviously insinuating that wrestling fans think the storylines are real and that the results are not predetermined, so there's no need to feed that perception by getting into a semantics debate about whether or not it's "fake" because people can get legitimately injured while pretending to fight.

Speaking of the Wrestler, of all past or present wrestlers.. why Ernest "The Cat" Miller as the "foe"? What went into that process to determine who would be the Ram's rival?

I would wonder aloud why they should care about the guys that jump in and say it's fake? Odds are, those individuals don't like wrestling. It shouldn't really matter what "they" think because you're still going to watch it and be a fan. It's like people who drop in to say "OMG DID YOU KNOW NPH IS GAY!" as if that should be a deterrent to stop watching How I Met Your Mother.
