Announcer
Somebody who watches the same games as everybody else, but often has a broad surface knowledge of many different teams, athletes, stats, and happenings in a league they announce for.
If announcers or sports writers (or the people giving them a script or ghostwriting if it applies) were good at going into a game and scoring 30 something or 40 something points, they would be on a team doing it. A lot of the superhero hype that nobody can really live up to comes from what they're trying to do with the athletes. Next thing you know, some people seem to want these guys kicked off a team and moved to another town, to run them out of town. Some of the people involved in these decisions think they own a guy, a league, or a town that they play in.

Announcer
A couple of guys watching the same events everybody else is, though they often have a general surface knowledge of many more players, stats, and happening around different leagues they announce for.
If an announcer or sports writer (or the ones who give them a script) were good at going in a game and scoring 30 something or 40 something points, they would be on the team doing that. They add to a lot of the superhero hype that nobody can really live up to, and next thing you know, more people seem to want this guy kicked off a team and moved to a different town, to run him out of town. Some of the people behind some of these decisions think they own the leagues and the towns they play in.

Expectations
Telling somebody who already is the way they are to be themselves, then telling them to be more, do more, is an unrealistic expectation.
Unrealistic expectations don't allow anybody to improve on their own terms, so they don't really allow somebody to improve at anything. People don't try to improve at something for or because of a program. Really, they are better off deprogramming themselves, and unplugging from the bullshit.

Expectations
Some people were expecting the guy to work himself out until he physically resembled Superman in order to keep his job. They didn't want him touching drugs, since drugs were like kryptonite, they wanted him to comply with their wholesome agenda/program. They called it lighting a fire under his ass. They could not under any circumstances, let the guy do what they were paying him to do or be human instead of superhuman, they had to turn his best efforts into bullshit over doing human shit that other humans did, and not satisfying their expectations.

Some people were expecting the guy to work himself out until he physically resembled Superman in order to keep his job, and since drugs were like kryptonite, they didn't want him to touch any drugs, they wanted him to comly with their agenda, their program. Their expectations were never really realistic, since the guy was always going to end up doing human shit like everybody else did.
