    Slapping five with all of your teammates after you miss a free throw.

    Competitive food eating contests.

    It's not a sport. It's not entertainment. It's just disgusting.

    The need to explain physical talents through mental attributes.

    Sometimes, the guy isn't clutch/unclutch/whatever, he's just good or bad.

    The first 45 minutes of NBA basketball. Maybe if they just played first to 100 win by 2.

    Two shots after 10 fouls. What was that rule intended to achieve? With the way teams shoot free throws today (badly), college and high school games would probably end 5-10 minutes earlier because there would be fewer second free throws.

    Either eliminate it and go back to one-and-one for all non-shooting fouls after six, or don't make it two shots until the 12th foul.
