WHAT ARE THE MOST FRUSTRATING THINGS IN SPORTS

Trevor Bullard

Dropping the ball before crossing the goal line for me.

Mike Craven

1. Fans who think sports are played on a spreadsheet

2. The length of reviews

3. Cheering in the press box

Cory Hogue

1. Basketball coaches who extend a game by calling timeouts when trailing by 10 or more points with one minute or less remaining.

2. Coaches who believe in analytics should always go for two when winning by 1 or 9 points because it's turns a one or two possession game into a two or three possession contest.

3. Mike McCarthy's time management skills are very frustrating.

Ishmael Johnson

People who don't know what they actually mean when they say "analytics."

Brooke Miller

The new ref review cam that makes every official look insane.

Vianey Moreno

Most frustrating thing is when the QB fumbles the ball on 1st and goal.

Gavin Moritz

In football, when a team is up 1 and then they score a touchdown and DON’T go for 2. There’s no reason to not try to go up 9 and make it a two-possession game. At worst, you’re up by 7. Sorry, not sorry.

Ashley Pickle

No. 1: When a knucklehead takes ONE dribble inside the 3-point line and shoots it. Either pull up, do a step-back to create space and get back behind the arc, take it to the hole or pass it off. Why are you making yourself make the longest 2-point shot possible? No. 2: Eagles fans.

Matt Stepp

1. A delay of game penalty after a timeout

2. Lining up in the neutral zone

3. Not catching a punt

4. Not fouling when up 3

Greg Tepper

When a big play is called back for a penalty, especially when it's far away from the action.

William Wilkerson

1. Kickers that miss chip-shot field goals particularly when their team does everything right to get them in position for the kick in two-minute or late-game situations.

2. When a player has plenty of time on the shot clock, doesn't move the ball and instead dribbles aimlessly before jacking up some stupid-hard contested three that they inevitably brick. Pass the ball.

3. Not being able to get a sacrifice bunt down. 

Carter Yates

The ref analyst who agrees with every call the official made on the field even if it’s clearly wrong.
