Is this annoying?

From NYTimes article at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/23/sports/football/23pennington.html :

“He has dug them out of a hole. Is it fun to watch? Yeah. Am I rooting for Chad a little bit? Yeah.”

Am I annoyed at people who ask and answer their own questions? Yes.

Do I feel like I’m carrying the torch of George Carlin by saying all the language things that annoy me? Probably.
