Calling a timeout the instant before the ball is snapped to the holder for a field goal attempt. Douchetastic!

Also, those annoying D and "fence" signs displayed prominently by fans who think they're being original. Those need to go...

Personally, I can do without the whole "icing the kicker" mentality myself.Also, those annoying D and "fence" signs displayed prominently by fans who think they're being original. Those need to go...

You could use a nickel sign when you need 5 DBs and a dime when you need 6.

As far as the timeout thing goes, it would not surprise me at all if the NFL or NCAA or both come up with a new rule to do away with that situation. It's not good for anyone to allow coaches to do that shit, and it's only going to get worse as long as it's not prohibited.

Bringing in "specialist" relievers to face a single batter

Funny post I found on Deadspin regarding this topic:
"I think that if the opposing coach calls the Douchebag Time Out, and the kicker makes the second kick, then the kicker gets to fuck the opposing coach's daughter.
That'll probably slow that practice."

Can I somehow blame Bill Belichick for the douchebag timeout? I'd like to, if possible.

Hitters who charge the mound after being pitched inside; hitters who wear more protective gear than an NHL goalie; starting pitchers who go 5-6 innings and think they've accomplished something; 12-man pitching staffs

Chest-bumping, finger-pointing, trash-talking, strutting like a peacock the last five-ten yards to the end zone.Hitters who charge the mound after being pitched inside; hitters who wear more protective gear than an NHL goalie; starting pitchers who go 5-6 innings and think they've accomplished something; 12-man pitching staffs

Couldn't you have just summed that whole list up as "things just ain't as good as they used to be" and go back to your game of dominoes?

Couldn't you just have said I hate Bill Belichek because he's a middle-aged white guy who didn't get hammered like Vick and Pacman Jones?[Edited on 10-1-2007 by lvnwrth]

The forward pass
The shot clock
Night baseball
These newfangled video games
The slam dunk
Overhand pitching
The rock music
Batting helmets
Any formation that's not the wishbone
The 3 point line
Talkies
There. Now you guys can go do something else, like take forever in line at the grocery store because you have to count out exact change for your jar of Metamucil and your three Salisbury Steak TV dinners.

foam fingers cost 7 bucks at a game. they contain about 4 cents worth of foam. If we do away with that then our whole western culture could tumble. Yes they are even more annoying then those little puppets that box but you'll have to live with them for the good of our nation.

Foam fingers are so last week. The foam shocker is the hip thing these days.

Jason Kendall. He started his own trend, which I like to call "super-deluxe crapness".

Outlaw the use of the words "hustle", "grit" and "heart" in sports journalism...
