    The sick silliness that is MMA. That the avatar reflects an actual strategy makes me giggle a little as I throw up in my mouth a little.

    And answering with two questions! Incognito, you're in rare form.

    NBC programmers who think tape delay is acceptable.

    OK, you've made a nice argument for banning boxing, too. Kumbaya

    Timeouts in the last two minutes of an NBA game. No huddle. Move it to one-third court and play.

    The BCS.

    And, as duly noted above, NBC's atrocious approach to tennis coverage in Europe. And the Olympics. I'm still shocked Nothing But Commercials didn't show the third and fourth rounds and the playoff of the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines on tape delay for the Mountain and Pacific time zones.

    As noted above, I'm going to go with ... tape-delayed programming.

    There is no excuse for it anymore. It's a 1950s strategy in the 21st century.
