I would add the Designated Hitter, the Stlouis Browns and getting rid of the jump ball.

The Ravens getting rid of Dilfer, the quarterback who took them to the superbowl.

I would add the Designated Hitter rule in AL baseball - which is basically a ruse to extend the careers of washed-up, overweight sluggers. Let the pitchers get their at-bats and retire the Jose Cansecos of the world.

Also the neutral zone trap in NHL hockey, which has turned NHL hockey into a snorefest of players slapping each other in the knees at mid-ice and dumping the puck endlessly into the opposing zone. This used to be a very exciting game. I say go even a step further and eliminate the blue lines (offsides) altogether.

Actually I liked the "Disco Sucks" night at Comiskey Park. That was a riot.

Football needs to put the goal posts back on the goal-line where they belong.

Basketball's Possession Arrow

Jump it. Every time. Are we not men?

OTOH, he should have included the Canadian Football League "invasion" of the U.S. in the mid-90s, which lasted about as long south of the 42nd parallel as Lee's Army of Northern Virginia did above the Mason-Dixon line.

Who can forget the San Antonio Texans, the Baltimore Stallions and the Birmingham Bolts?

The 50 worst sports ideas ever

Ice Hockey
Repeat 49 more times.

[Migraine]

Remember "three-to-make-two"?

Remember the "force-out" (should have been called the "bail-out", because it enabled the official to shirk the foul call).

Remember the timeouts called in midair to prevent a turnover? Oh, yeah -- they still allow that garbage!

Remember the fouls every two seconds in the last three minutes of every basketball game which change the outcome of maybe 1 game out of 100 but prolong the final buzzer by a good 30 minutes? Oh yeah -- that's still the teeth-grinding strategy.

No wonder I watch less and less basketball.

thankz for the fun article

 Not even the singular brilliance of He Hate Me
could salvage this extreme-flavored wannabe.

He Hate Me is the only thing good
I recall about the whole XFL thing.
I wonder if he made it into the NFL?

Remember when the umpires resigned? What were they thinkin? Od course a court let some of them back. I like it when someone puts a gun to their own head and then dares anyone to move.

I invented one back in the 80's when they outlawed lawn darts. I invented it to piss off the nanny-staters who initiated the ban. (Funny, back then I was a conservative in liberal clothes and didn't even know it. A sheeple, if you will.)

Lawn Dart Jousting on BMX Bikes With No Helmets After Drinking

For some reason, it never really caught on.

Chris Washburn - Went to NC State with a 500 SAT score and the NBA couldn't wait to draft him. He was living under a bridge in 5 years.

JR Reid - One day, he will be good. Of course, they said that 14 years ago
