So I'm sitting here listening to the Leafs game on NHL Radio and the Leafs take a penalty. The play-by-play guy proceeds to tell me that "This Leaf penalty kill is brought to you by {insert company.}" What the fuck is that all about? It's bad enough that when I watch the games on tv that each period is brought to me by {insert company.} What's next? "This goal is brought to you by..." "This 3-2 pitch is brought to you by..." "This tackle is brought to you by..."

What the hell does "brought to you by" even mean? Just tell me that "{This company} has paid us money to tell you about them."

At the time of this post the Leafs have taken 4 penalties so I've heard this "brought to you by" crap 4 times. It's ridiculous. Not everything needs to have a corporate sponsor.

Does this bother anyone else when they're watching/listening to sports or is it just me?
