Things we can do with out in Sports...



The Pro Bowl.The last Pro Bowl needed 11 injury replacement players, so it isn't exactly the cream of the crop of all-star rosters. Plus, it's the least interesting and least intense of the all-star games.
Roger Clemens and his ever-expanding array of reasons why he couldn't have possibly taken PEDs.

The designated hitter.

Mannywood.

Michael Phelps

DUIs and pro athletes.According to ESPN The Magazine, 1,875 of the 4,420 athletes who play in the NFL, NBA, MLB or NHL earn at least $1 million. The minimum salary for the lowest-paid rookie in any of those four leagues is $295,000. So, please, you can afford a $31 cab ride back home from the nightclub.

Jose Canseco and the MMA.




Players with tattoos in Chinese.Just asking, but do you think Chinese players get tattoos in English?

Any more references to or lingering TV camera shots of Jack Nicholson at a Los Angeles Lakers game.

TV dugout shot of a big league player just as he's doing a nose excavation. Or spitting. Or scratching.

NFL players who, in the taped TV introductions, say their name and then, "THE Ohio State University."If you're going to be that smug, then you at least have to have an actual diploma from THE university.



NBA arena deejays. Its sad to see Cedric Ceballos in this role.

Terrell Owens.

Chad Ochocinco

Anquon Boldin
Amar'e Stoudemire
A new Wrigley Field or Fenway Park.

LeBron and Kobe. The match up that didn't happen.

NBA refs who think we tuned in to watch them officiate.


NBA league officials who rescind technical fouls.And they just happen to be T's called against Kobe and Dwight Howard. Interesting.

Cell phone addicts behind home plate.Yes, we see you waving frantically at the center field TV camera. And, yes, we think you look like an idiot.

A new, $412-million, dome-less Minnesota Twins baseball stadium. It was 29 degrees on Opening Day 2009; half of the 14 days on which the Twins played home games in April had lows in the 30s.

A Barry Bonds sighting. He's done.

Male cheerleaders. Its too painful to see.

It is next to impossible to get a shot of baseball players NOT picking their nose, spitting or scratching. Don't you think the video guys try?!

Why do you want to get rid of the DH?
