Which would you rather be trapped in a booth with...

Football commentators who continuously discuss a 50-0 blowout

OR

A "fan" who is overly critical of his own team

Details:

  • What do sports commentators do when the game is decided and their job is now useless? Well, you've heard it ... it's not pretty.
  • And who hasn't been behind - or worse, in front of - a "fan" who coaches "his" team from the upper decks? You know, the type who has clearly played football before, since he knows everything about it. I've seen such people, and their main way of supporting the team seems to be in the number of beers they buy at the concession stand.

Results:

Commentators: 11
"Fan": 3

The minority opinion / A "fan" who is overly critical of his own team
Blair
I can't stand half of america's football comentators. they can't even pronounce things properly and they definitely get way too annoying when the game is definitely decided. I'm overcritical sometimes of my favorite teams, so thus, I guess I could tolerate being with myself in a booth!

Well, it is hard to get commentators to stop (especially since there are usually a few of them and only one of me), but you can get the obnoxious guy to stop by either a) keep supplying him with beer until he passes out or cannot put together a whole sentance, or b) duct tape his mouth shut (you always have to carry duct tape with you, never know when you are going to need it). He will be too drunk to know how to take it off. Plus it will be amusing to see him try.

The fan b/c i just can't stand commentators...i would much rather watch the game without them

Watching a game on TV with Eudy would not be the same without these guys. I mean, there's so much to make fun of there. By the time they get to the "guess what little Billy said to the producer at the Bring Your Children to Work luncheon last week" stories, I'll be in the floor laughing.
The upper deck coach, on the other hand, is just obnoxious. Even if he really knows what he is talking about, it takes the magic away from the game for us sports idiots. Yet if he's clueless, and Murphy's Law makes it a high probability, he is also more likely to be incredibly loud and roaring drunk--"go away!" drunk, not "sports commentator funny" drunk.

I chose this because i have been to many football games and have encountered many overzealous fans. At least i can laugh at the commentators, the fan just distracts from a game that might be good.
Taylor
I would choose the football commentator.... because..... well just because.
spautz
To me they'd be about equally annoying, but if I'm in a booth with the commentators then there's a chance I can play with some cool/expensive sportscaster equipment. I can't think of any better way to make the commentators shut up about the game than to throw a couple of TV cameras at them, preferably while making monkey noises. That'll give them something more worthwhile to talk about!
Josh Branham
There's a strong possibility that the fan is also drunk. At least I might can hold an intelligent conversation with the commentator. Just so long as he's not Lee Corso then I'll be alright.
tj
i can't take the cynic; rather have the guy trying hard
Josh
Well i must say that this one was easy for. I usually would not vote because it is so hard. I would have to pick the commentator because at least he won't reak of alchohol and is being paid for his rantings whereas the "fan" will most likely reak and is just plain annoying and does not get paid for being obnoxious like the other guy.
Cliver
I (like electricity) continually try to take the path of least resistence. I believe that although neither options are desireable this time the blowout would be the better of the two. The (may i call him) "whiner" would raise my stress level to an unacceptable level. And It may cause me to become critical as well. I am the highly suggestible type.
Allison
I think it's amusing to hear the commentators discuss a game after it's over. I mean, you have to be creative to keep talking for half an hour, exhausting every instant replay, bad play, miracle pass, and point scored. I sure couldn't do it. And then when the commentators start making fun of each other--well I just like to sit back and observe.
Harvey
i'd prefer the sports announcers of course, cause you can always mute them and still watch the game. but then again, i guess you could just stick your fingers in your ear and tune out the annoying fan--that might get uncomfortabe after a while though......
Noremac
One punch and the commentator they will probably shut up and just sue (which will do little good if they are trapped in a barn). But a "fan" will probably fight back and there really is no reason for such useless violence.
