On Mike and Mike yesterday morning, I caught the end of the conversation of them talking about things in sports they hate. That got me thinking. Here is my list. Am I missing anything ??? Throwing the ball straight down to stop the clock Throwing the ball near no one when out of the pocket with no penality Protecting the quarterback Ground can't cause the fumble. You should have to hold on to the ball. The Designated Hitter. Days off for rest in the sport of baseball. You sit or stand around most of the game. Why do you need rest? The new NHL Goalie Rules Union Heads of the 4 major sports The Slam Dunk contest Commercial time-outs after kickoffs Lou Pinella, Ron Artest, TO, Keyshawn Johnson People against Instant Replay. Officials who cant get a call right. Stadium Beer Prices Dancing during stoppages at hockey games. Intentional Walks Getting a save when up 3 runs. A Pitcher blowing a lead and then getting a win People who stand in front of you when it is not necessary to stand. The smell of mustard at a game. Players that demand a trade when under contract. Players that cry about money when they make $8M per year. Super Agents Almost everyone in the NBA over the last 7 years. John Madden Sterroids In Baseball Almost everyone who is a Sports Center Host especially Stuart Scott Steve A Smith and Steve Summers... Hearing John Sterling say, "The Yankess Win." The Yankees and Cowboys Jerry Jones, Daniel Snyder, Al Davis, George Steinbrenner Fireman Ed leaving his section to do his chant That jerk who dances at Rangers Games. The Pro-Bowl Half-Time highschool bands People who go to a stadium or arena and wear a jersey not of the 2 teams playing that night. People who are new to your section and yell at the section to get up and cheer. SIT DOWN !!! Losing in regulation Losing in Overtime Matteau, Leech, Richter and Messier's stupid "gaurantee" Bad Coaching Defensive Battles...I want scoring! Fiddle Faddle replacing Cracker Jacks in baseball parks. The slowness of a baseball game. Personal Seat Licenses Poor drafting Bad Trades Terrible signings Ticket scalping A fat guy next to you who's blubber is hanging into your seat An irritating drunk behind you who doesn't shut up. Physically beating of a fan...only verbal abuse is acceptable. NHL Stanley Cup Finals Neilsen Ratings Pitchers who walk around the mound after every pitch. Tobacco spitting in baseball. Baseball and hockey players with mullets Football players who's hair hangs out their helmets Basketball players with corn rolls. Basketball players with sock disease. Chris Berman wanting to be the host of every ESPN sports event. Getting a point in hockey for losing in OT. A rare NFL Tie Monday Night Football no longer on ABC Tom Arnold as host of a sports show Notre Dame Regular Season NCAA Basketball Not having a College Football Playoffs & Voting for a Champion. Preseason Football Injuries Sterroids In Baseball & Mark McGuire not talking about it Yankee Fans Rain Delays Not running hard to first base A 12 man on the field penality OR a Too Many Men on the ice penalty Excessive Celebration penalities or the disapparance of a Sack Dance Dog Shows Auto Racing Soccer Riots CBS not putting NFL games in Hi-Def Frustrating JETS Loses !
The rule in the NHL that gets you a penalty every time you put the puck over the boards. The NHL penalties that seem to get called just for the sake of creating a power play. (all the phantom hooks and trips) The etrocious grammar so many athletes in football and basketball have, especially considering that they attended universities. WHAT IS IT ABOUT NHL NEILSON RATINGS THAT BOTHERS YOU?? AND HOW CAN YOU HATE MADDEN, HE RULES MAN!!! European soccer players taking dives when they haven't even been touched. Tiger Woods winning every damn thing he enters. Jeremy Roenick's mouth. Gary Bettman...especially his hidden agenda to get rid of fighting and turn the NHL into basketball on ice.
People who pee on the seat and dont clean it up. The dude on the train standing next to you with BO. People who just want to be a dick for dicks sake.
Even so that list was freakin' guiness. "A fat guy next to you who's blubber is hanging into your seat" Shea Stadium much?
I hate pro sports because my teams never win, I am a slave to the jets and football. Please someone help me!!!
How can you not enjoy the smell of mustard at games? I look forward to the smell of the stadium everytime i get there (except for the bathroom :lol. But, the best smell, by far, is the shopping-cart pretzels after the game. I make sure to bring my $5 (they say $4 each, but tell them youll give em 5 for 2 and its all gravy) to pick some up afterwards. Nice and charcoal burnt and dried out.....nothing beats them
