Here's something that I find really annoying.   It's when, on these football shows, they are standing in front of some sort of smart board or huge touch-enabled monitor, and they are going to show us some plays, but at the same time, they want to show off their smart board, so instead of seeing the play like we should, we see the guys standing in front of the smart board dragging and dropping and doing all kinds of "magical" stuff the network is so proud of, and the play we are supposed to see is so small and so much in the background that you can't really see it.   I just want to yell at the TV, "I DON'T CARE IF YOU CAN DRAW WITH YOUR FINGER.  SHOW THE DAMN PLAY FULL SCREEN!"    They can't seem to decide if they want to analyze a play for us or show off their smart board.   It's totally aggravating.

Which leads me into a second point.   What's the deal with talking heads?   I can hear the anchor person talking, so why do I need to SEE them talking?   GET TO THE FILM.   If you want to give me the news, why do I need to see a person sitting behind a desk talking?  Wouldn't it be so much better to just run video or graphics with a voice-over?  It's like television networks are stuck in the 1950s!
