Basketball is terrible and I say this as a guy who went to Kentucky for grad school and is married to a Lexington native, so I speak from experience. She's a Broncos fan now, too and loves going to games. E: she loves basketball, so I make an effort. But ugh.

I still like basketball but it's been hard for me to get back into the NBA after the Sonics moved. These days I tend to pay more attention to college hoops, while quietly resenting people who still have an NBA team to root for

I don't know if this is the right thread for bitching about TV programming, but here's a little story. Last Thursday I stopped in a bar for a late lunch, and one of their TVs was on NFL Network, which was currently showing a Top Ten list: "What We Miss In Football" or something like that 10. Stickum 9. Barefoot Kickers 8. Angry Opponents 7. Real Grass 6. Good Nicknames 5. Goalposts at the Goal Line (!!!!) 4. Real Fullbacks I left at that point but jesus christ. Also one of the talking heads who pops up to share his worthless opinion was Pete Prisco, aka that guy who wrote that terrible article and got destroyed by Keith Olbermann.

The NFL really is missing an opportunity on the coaches not wearing suits. A whole line of branded suits and formal wear! Imagine how many crested blazers you could sell to idiots.

And imagine the markup. I recently saw "Philadelphia Eagles sandwich bags" in my local supermarket. 50 count for $3.99. And that's cheap--NFLShop has them for $5.25. Meanwhile, you can get 70 count Ziplock for like $2.19.

At least Coors Light has some semblance of taste. Miller Lite's selling point is that their cans have a pop top and Bud Light's is that their commercials are occasionally funny.

Chris Chase of USAToday has things to say about Golden Tate's waving: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2013/10/golden-tate-taunt/ quote:Tate was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on the play. Due to the 15-yard infraction, Seattle was forced to kickoff from its own 20. But it had little effect on the Rams. A holding penalty on that kick pushed the start of their next drive back to their own 22-yard line, meaning Tate’s penalty basically cost the Seahawks two yards. Alright, reasonable enough... wait, there's more? quote:What should happen is that anytime a player slows up to taunt on a TD, it should be open season on hits from pursuing defenders. No repercussions. McLeod should be allowed to drill Tate after he crossed the goal line — you know, to let him know he says hello too.

Not only should impressionable youngsters be taught that taunting is "cool" but also that violence is the best response when you or your peer is the target!

If youngsters are so impressionable that Golden Tate waving will scar them for life, they probably shouldn't be allowed to watch a sport where a man could die on the field.

I will never understand the stigma against taunting. I can understand not wanting to taunt when a player is hurt, but the idea that showing off while you clown a guy is somehow unethical is weird. EDIT: I love when they try to claim its about humility and good sportsmanship. Meanwhile, this is the intro to SNF. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OXlLrtPTIA

It seems like the people against taunting don't have an argument besides "we don't like it", while those of us who support it can only say "we do like it". You might as well argue about what type of music is the worst, because it is dumb and subjective. p.s. country sucks

Also, I'd be more amenable to it if it was creative or funny. It's so rare to see that.

It could definitely be more creative, but I think a key pillar of country music is being tragic and not comic. Is it still country if it is funny?
