    -- Interviewing coaches between quarters or during a stoppage in play. Add in halftime interviews as coaches/players go off the field/court.
    --The f'ing wave
    -- TV viewers calling in rules infractions during golf tournaments

    Made-up prices on medical procedures. Had a surgery last month, and the sticker price from the hospital was over over $133k. Insurance paid just over $8,000, left me with a $100 copay, and the rest went poof. What was the point? If I didn't have insurance and they tried to collect in full, they would have just had it written down in bankruptcy.

    Went to the Mariners-Indians game the other night in Cleveland. The jackholes in front of me do the wave just as Justin Smoak rips a two-run homer. Couldn't see it. Assholes.

    Unfortunately, the costs are not made up. It's the result of the distorted supply-and-demand created by our current health insurance system.

    List now appears to be a mute point. All will be taken care of on May 21.

    NHL teams in cities that have never seen ice

    people who believe everything someone emails them

    this idea some grammar nazis have that a sentence cannot end in a preposition (they can't . . . .in Latin and thus can't in any Romance language. English is not a Romance language, it is a Germanic language)
