I can't stand ANY of those profiles. If I wanted to know about the trials and tribulations of war torn <instert country here> I'D WATCH THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL!!!!!!!
What drives me nuts is the lack of coverage of some sports. Sure, they show all the 'glammor sports' like basketball, baseball, gymnastics, and the 'glammor' races of swimming and track and field. But they never show any race (in track) above the 400m. And heaven forbid we see more than just the top 3 jumps in the pole vault or the long jump or the high jump; or even the throws in discuss and hammer. I would KILL to be able to see the 1500m or the 800m or the 3000m runs.
What also drives me nuts is when I'm flipping through ESPN and I see the results before the event. I understand when things are in different time zones and stuff like that. But when the Olympics were in Georgia, and I found out the results of the women's individuals, I was pissed.
