Why, WHY does NPR insist on doing sports coverage? It makes me so uncomfortable to hear those calming newsy voices trying to stumble over sports idioms.My stomach hurts when Richard Steele says things like “that guy can really throw a ball far!”.
I feel like listening to NPR reporters talk about sports is like watching squirrels water ski: you know they are well trained for the task, but wouldn’t they be happier in their natural habitat?
Also, Cheryl Ray-Stout makes me feel like a total misogynist because I can’t stop rolling my eyes while she gives her opinion on the Bear’s pre-season. I think I burst a blood vessel this morning!
Is it too much to ask for NPR and their member stations to just continue to collect acorns and climb trees, and stay off the water skis? I think we’d all be better off.
