Yelling at TV

I got into a conversation today with an old friend about yelling at televisions, and it got very interesting.

Let me explain.

He's in my fantasy football league, and named his team "Bush Push", which was a a direct knock at me, a big Notre Dame fan, but also clever because he has Reggie Bush on his team.

(If you want to read more on that whole incident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_USC_vs._Notre_Dame_football_game)

That strikes a chord with me because that was probably up there with the times I've yelled at the TV in terms of duration and decibel level.

(IT'S STILL A BULL CRAP CALL AND IT ANGERS ME NINE YEARS LATER)

Other games that come to mind:

When Ryan Braun did this: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=848345831130

And especially when Ryan Braun did this: https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=848351185400

And when Aaron Rodgers did this: http://www.packers.com/media-center/videos/WK-17-Cant-Miss-Play-Rodgers-stuns-Soldier-Field/c5caeb7e-a6d5-4db0-bcab-b2fa16cf4465

Number one is for a play I was furious at, while 2-3-4 are all plays that brought out a jubilant nature.

His counter was that his roommate in college was from Boston, and he had to watch the World Series with him. Which would have been cool. But I think I still win.
