10 Most Annoyingly Overplayed Stadium Songs

May 21, 2012 By 9 Comments

black-eyed peas

There some stadium songs that are just overkill. These are annoying.

Then there are certain tunes that make you wish homicide against the music director was legal. That’s what this list is.

What’s even worse is that these “jams” are supposed to make happy and care-free, to get you “into it.”

That’s kind of tough to do when what they’re blaring is something you’ve heard so many times it makes your ears bleed. The list that follows is the evil identical twin (Because both of these lists are evil) of the Five Most Annoying Stadium Sound Effects which we published last summer.

LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” has now gotten SO BAD, it deserves it’s own post. It’s probably more overplayed than all ten of these combined.

Just minutes ago, the Chicago Bulls concluded a press conference discussing the surgery and recovery time table of their franchise player Derrick Rose. The reigning NBA MVP tore his ACL, and today was an opportunity for a post-surgical update. Answering questions from the media were Bulls GM Gar Forman, trainer Fred Tedeschi and the orthopedic surgeon who performed Rose’s operation: Dr. Brian Cole.

A lot was said, but this exchange says the most, in just a few words:

Five Mismatched Celebrity Athlete Relationships: Brooke Daniels, Hope Solo and More

May 11, 2012 By 4 Comments

You’ve heard of the expression “out-kicking your coverage,” or perhaps “punching above your weight class?” That’s what this post is all about, five guys in the sports world who are WAY overachieving in terms of their GFs, wives etc. Some of these men have fame, big money and are in tremendous physical shape, but some of them don’t.

And even the guys in this group that do have those qualities…when you see them next to the gorgeous beings they’ve landed, the extreme physical disparity is still outrageous and sometimes laughable.

We begin with a couple which made big news last week, or at least one half of them did. 2009 Miss Texas Brooke Daniels finally returned the $76,000 engagement ring Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams sent her in the mail alng with a video proposal. What a shock she said no. What’s more insane, spending long dough like that on a little rock? Or sending it snail mail? Or proposing in any manner that isn’t in person?

TBS/TNT sideline reporter Jaime Maggio got a lot of attention during 2011 March Madness. During that time of year, when college basketball routinely sees an exponential growth in popularity and coverage, America creates new media stars too.

“It sounds like the breakout performer so far in Chicago is CBS/TBS sideline reporter Jaime Maggio,” tweeted SI.com writer Stewart Mandel. “Not on the preseason depth chart.”

And her stock rose again as she covered the NBA Playoffs between the Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers.

Now she’s back covering the 2011 MLB playoffs and getting a ton of newfound interest on the internet, and now the 2012 NBA playoffs.

When Tyson Chandler was a member of the Chicago Bulls, he was a force on the defensive end. Now with the New York Knicks, he’s had a strong season in which he won NBA Defensive Player of the Year. (AP Source)

Chandler is one of the more unselfish players in the league, and somewhat of an anomaly within the league. The statistical case for him to be Def POY is highlighted in the video below.
