Particularly sports talk radio - it's awful programming and offers very little of substance.

And don't even get me started on draft predictions. I'd rather perform a DIY root canal than listen to those idiots. Guys I work with would start talking about who's going to be taken in the 5th round and I'd start to look for sharp objects.

Maybe I'm just a pain in the ass, but it's tough to listen to.
