| ESPN.com What's bothering today's sports fans? A sampling from ESPN.com users: I'm sick of every Tom, Dick, and Harry (not Carey) singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" at Cubs games in honor of Harry Carey. If I wanted to hear really bad singing I'd put in a Helen Reddy CD. Tim Weinzierl Decatur, Ga. That I know who is going to be in the World Series before spring training lets out. Michael Fiorina Butler, Pa. 49er fans. People, please! Joe Montana is not coming back! Christian Scott Cupertino, Calif. Inept referees and umpires. Rich Francis Springfield, N.J. All the show-boating and trash talking in sports. Just do your job and let the final score speak for you! Dom Gaccino Yonkers, N.Y. Is there a pro golfer out there who has played on a public golf course? If I have to listen to another player complain about the condition of another course that I can't get within a mile of without getting arrested, I'll puke. Dave Martin Bettendorf, Iowa. The fact the hockey is the only sport that is still a team sport. Scott Grissom Nashville, Tenn. NASCAR. If the driver isn't getting out of the car to change his own tires, wipe his own windshield, and pump his own gas, then it isn't a sport. Joe Westchester, N.Y. If you sign a contract, stick to it. Holding out, whining, renogiating -- I'm tired of it. Doug New York City Baseball's use of alternate uniforms. I hate turning on a game or watching a highlight and seeing both teams wearing dark blue jerseys. It should be white at home, gray away. End of story. Matt Washington, D.C. High schoolers in the NBA! If I really wanted to see a bunch of 18 year olds play, I'd go down to the local high school and catch a game. Boyd Bastian Provo, Utah People who write a column telling me what's bothering me instead of telling me something that I don't already know! Bill Forsythe Cranford, N.J. Why don't you add "know-it-all sports writers" to your list. Jon Palmer Hoboken, N.J. Is it possible for an athlete to ever say anything original, ever? Perhaps a full sentence...maybe an honest, well phrased thought? Shane Serpico Washington, D.C. The manner in which professional athletes butcher the English language. Tim Dalton Belmont, Mass. That my Little Leaguers have no idea who Hank Aaron is and are only interested in Shaq and Kobe. Rob Imparato Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands That children these days are not brought up rooting for the hometown team but rather the teams that have all of the stars who dunk the ball the best. Jody Fisher Newtown, Pa. Why is there a lack of fundamentals in all the major sports? Aaron Hammond Wheaton, Ill. These morons that sit behind homeplate or courtside and wave to the camera while they talk to their buddy on their cell phone. Tod Altheide Tempe, Ariz. The Chicago Cubs' lack of a bullpen. Eric Stadel DeKalb, Ill. Bobby Valentine. Doug Childers Atlanta People who think 16-15 games are exciting. No one appreciates good pitching. Andy Blakely Atlanta Why is the all time hits leader not in the Hall of Fame but drug users are allowed three or four or seven chances? Robert Vensel III Vandenberg AFB, Calif. The problem with sports today is that my favorite team never seems to win. Chris Shaff Valparaiso, Ind. | ALSO SEE Ratto: Poll this, America ![]() | |||||
