Most overblown sports story ever

What do you think it is? I'll go with Lance Armstrong in general, the Michael Phelps bong "incident", and any tabloid junk involving the Yankees. Though I'm sure there are much bigger ones I'm missing.

 

I think we get about one of these per day, minimum, on ESPN. How am I supposed to pick with that many choices?

 

NBA Free Agency in 2010.

 

Superbowl, every year.

But if you want one specific thing, I'll go with Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction"

 

I agree with halibut.



Again.

 

Eight Belle's injury on the racetrack

 

Brett Favre's retirement saga

 

Live, all day coverage of any draft, but especially the NFL draft. Just give me a list of who picked who once it's finished.

 

Anything related to college sports.

 

A-Roid, Bonds, Canseco, Phelps, Magic Johnson, Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding, Bobby Knight, The Rutgers womens basketball team, T.O., Michael Vick, Pacman Jones, Manny Ramirez.

 

The entire steroid era of baseball

 

You forgot the word 'not'

 

Not during this month. March Madness!!!

 

Tunick, no. Just no.

 

Heh, this topic is probably good for another whole thread.

I like College Football alright. I mean, I won't watch a show about it (like College Gameday), but I'll watch a game. College Basketball, on the other hand, I couldn't care less about. I'd rather watch a shuffleboard tournament than a College Basketball game.

 

I would love to start an anti-college sports thread, but I do enough elsewhere on the JC that annoys people.............................so, I'd rather not add to that.

 

In Phelps defense, he admitted he made a mistake and then took a low profile. It's the media that overblew it.

T.O is the most overblown sports figure. Period. I'll be laughing when he and Buffalo go 0 - 16 this year.

 

I don't mean an "anti-college" thread, just a thread to gauge people's interest level in general in college sports in comparison to pro.

 

Schilling's blood, A-Roid.

 

Yeah, figured the blood would come up with news of Schilling's retirement today.

 

Vick is a good choice.

 

The University of South Carolina's 15 minutes of fame.

 

Michelle Wie.

 

No! She is very, very, very good looking.
