Top 10 Most Annoying Things About 2009 NFL Season So Far

Top 10 Most Annoying Things About 2009 NFL Season So Far 10:53 AM on 10/7/2009     Well folks, we're now one quarter of the way into the 2009 NFL season and being that my team, the Seattle Seahawks (yes, they are an NFL team, not a CFL team) are absolutely horrid, I thought I would begin my blogging career on DisplacedFans by getting some things off of my chest that have annoyed the living hell out of me this season—instead of doing a power ranking or other "team evaluation" exercise that would, quite frankly, just depress me even more.  I think we'll take a queue from David Letterman and do this in "Top 10" fashion.  So, without further adieu, let's begin with number 10.   10. Brad Childress's Headset Uh, dude, are you calling plays or auditioning to be Britney Spears's backup singer?  Little too "cute" for my taste.  Throw on the Motorola and be a man.   9. Ads for Michael Strahan's new sitcom Brothers Am I supposed to be interested in this because I watch football?  Besides, the pinnacle of an NFL player in a comedy role has already been achieved...   8. Whiner Quarterbacks Let's start penalizing defenses for NOT getting a cheap shot in on these crybabies. Joe Theismann's leg was snapped in half, and the only thing I saw thrown out on the field was a stretcher.  Part of the game big boys.   7. The quality (or lack thereof) of the "HD" on Fox's NFL Broadcasts If I can spend a grand on my HDTV, you cheap bastards can pony up for the latest HD technology.  Give me a break.   6.  Jon Gruden's "subtle" lobbying for every coaching position that may be available next season through excessive brown-nosing on the Monday Night Football broadcasts Have you noticed this? Cowboys (Wade Phillips), "I love Tony Romo!", Vikings (Brad Childress), "I would lose my left leg for Brett Favre"  Okay, we get it, you're desperate to coach again.  Look for flowers to be delivered to Bill Parcells's luxury box during next Monday's telecast.   5. The Seahawks' Neon Green Uniforms Ooooh intimidating.  "Hey guys, let's go out and suck in NEON GREEN!!!"   4. Eagles fans giving Michael Vick a standing ovation "Hey, we're not the biggest scumbags on the face of the earth after all!!!! YEAH!!!!"   3. Pink Hats, Cleats, and Wristbands for Breast Cancer Awareness Um, how much do you guys make?  How about donating a game check? Just a thought.   2.  Chris Collinsworth "Hey, let's replace John Madden with some guy who sounds like an 80-year-old woman who's been chain smoking since she was 12."   1.  And my No. 1 most annoying thing so far this season: Bill Bellichick's s@#! eating grin Until further notice, this will remain No. 1 every year.   Enjoy the rest of the season, guys and gals! Hope your teams are faring better than mine!   -Keith
