1010XL and their 8 minute commercial breaks. 

 
EIGHT MINUTES OF COMMERCIALS.

Making the turn for home 30 minutes before the show is over followed by a 2 minute wrap up, 8 minutes of commercials, 2 minutes of teasing cross talk, 8 more minutes of commercials, 4 minutes of talking over the incoming crew, and 6 minutes of commercials.

Making the turn for home 30 minutes before the show is over followed by a 2 minute wrap up, 8 minutes of commercials, 2 minutes of teasing cross talk, 8 more minutes of commercials, 4 minutes of talking over the incoming crew, and 6 minutes of commercials.

 

And herein lies the rub for media commentary.

 

The public has a desire for news and talk related to the news, but there simply isn't enough of substance out there to warrant anything more than maybe a 30 minute segment per day on most any one topic.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

That's good. You don't seem like someone mean enough to try to hurt a defenseless animal. :no:

 

The way I hit the ball, it wouldn't have hurt him.

When the recipe says to wrap the chicken in foil and stick them in the oven for 20 minutes and after 20 minutes they aren't even close to done. The butter on top hadn't even melted properly!

You're supposed to turn on the oven...dummy

Have you seen my baseball?

Dutch ovens...

People who can't cook.

People who wig out at the mention of snow. We're supposed to get some up here this weekend and folks are freaking out. Except the ones I saw with several cases of beer and a snow shovel in their cart. That's the way to handle a snow event. Or in my case, as frigid as it's going to get, some Bailey's Irish Cream in my coffee. I gotta hit the ABC store up tomorrow.

Do people actually watch these ESPN shows where three or more people are just sitting around a desk staring at (and typing into) their smartphones and gossiping about athletes??

 

Those shows annoy me, and the pathetic sheep who watch that tripe annoy me even more.  Bah!!

When SportsCenter and NFLN both have Lil Wayne on for commentary on football.


If it's a show talking about Sizzurp, I get it. We don't need to hear him try to talk football.

---

Only a chump boos the home team!

I have no idea who Lil Wayne or what Sizzurp is. I feel like I'm a better person for it.

I was watching that on NFLNetwork the other day. He seemed baked out of his mind. Definitely belongs in this thread.

When my burger shows up with the lettuce and tomato on the bottom bun under the burger.  Grrrr............

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

I completely understand this annoyance.

Sportsbar lunch with 16 screens of it everywhere

When you're on call and you get a notification at 2:27 in the morning and it turns out that it was absolutely nothing that couldn't have waited.  Then you can't get back to sleep.

 

Not that it's ever (this morning) happened to me.

Reading about things that annoy you people.

Have you seen my baseball?

When your kid wakes you up in the middle of the night then says "nevermind" as if you can shut right back down like C-3PO.
