Not sure where to post this, feel free to move...
I've watched football for a loooong time, but in the last few years I've noticed some really stupid (in my opinion) things:
1. "Get Back" coaches- you mean to tell me that coaches need babysitters to keep them on the sidelines? They make millions of dollars and don't have enough sense to stay on the sideline? Don't tell me they are too "into the game" to notice these things- it's stupid. The people who serve in these positions look ridiculous holding on to the pants of whatever coach they are assigned to. I'm watching Georgia-Baylor right now and UGA has at least 3 of them.
2. The athletic trainers (?) who sprint on to the field at every timeout to squirt water/Gatorade into the waiting mouths of the players. You mean to tell me that players can't do this for themselves? Yes, I've played football and I know it's not that difficult. Not sure what this position is, probably some poor intern or GA.
3. The big screens some teams use to hide their play calling signals/boards from the TV cameras or potential scouts in the stands. Come on, why do you need giant screens and boards to signal in and/or hide what you are calling?
Yeah, I know, I probably sound like a "get off my lawn" guy right now, really don't care. Anyone else have others (besides the one regarding some anonymous poster on a message board posting about annoying things)?
