    The NCAA's 300,000 athletes who are turning pro in something else commericials.

    The NCAA in general.

    Multiple boxing organizations.

    Boxing press conferences in which the fighters get in shoving matches.

    TD scored. XP kicked. Five minutes of commercials. Kickoff. Five more minutes of commercials.

    "Look who just stopped by the booth ... It's (Network TV star)!)

    And I'm sure I have more, but I can't think of them right now.

    NBA Cares spots.

    God Bless America during baseball games.

    Singers treating the Star Spangled Banner like an American Idol audition.

    Hecklers. Most of you are witless annoying pricks who distract the people sitting around you much more than the dude you're yelling at.

    Instant replay.
    It absolutely destroys any flow. It's bad enough with the 18,401 commercials per game. The instant replays just add more dicking around.

    (team name) Nation.
    Especially ridiculous when it's some mid- to low-major college.

    Interviews with a representative from the sponsor - honestly I'd prefer another ad than hearing some jagoff in a suit take credit for the great weather and finish and talk about how much they are doing for charity.

    No surprise there. For me, it's the BCS and the debates it creates.

    This one is right on the money. East Carolina refers to its fans as Pirate Nation. East Carolina! What nation is that? Andorra? San Marino? Liechtenstein?

    Sheesh!

    I believe the Pirate nation is a principality, like Monaco, only far less cool.
