Is when people call something an upset that is NOT an upset. This from a cbs article last night...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Vanderbilt started this season with lots of experience and expectations. Now the Commodores head into March with something that has been tough to come by the past few years.
A victory on Senior Night. And a big upset at that

Did this guy simply look at the rankings? Vandy was a 3.5pt favorite! Not only did he call it an upset, but a BIG upset. I mean this is something my mom or girlfriend would do... look at the rankings and just assume it was an upset.

Yeah that is irritating, but as a gambler the most annoying thing in sports is when your 10 point dog intentionally fouls with 4 seconds left down 9, like they're gonna win the game.

Or missed free throws when you have an over.

I have 2 pet peeves in sports.


Announcers saying that an athlete is giving 110%

Golf announcers that broadcast at the course in suits and ties. I really think it would look a lot better if golf announcers were dressed in a nice polo shirt and slacks.
