Football is intolerable for me to watch. How much longer until it's over?

Football.
They're mostly criminals, they get paid too much, they stretch out a half hour game to four hours for no reason, and it's just an excuse for men to hit each other on the butt.

Now you've ruined one of my favorite sports for me.

Soccer; any sport where tie games are common isn't really a sport

2. Spelling Bees should involve the spelling right next to a beehive or something
Brilliant. For each wrongly spelled word, someone gets dipped in a tub of honey.
Patent this idea guys and market it to the X games as "extreme" spelling!

Now that is an original take on my beloved sport that I may not agree with but can see where your coming from. Most criminals in football have been associated with the Oakland Raiders or Atlanta Falcons, IMO. Although, that would be a most interesting football trivia statistic! Which team has the most ex-con, incarcerated, or indicted players. Of course we can do that for baketball and baseball as well!

The reason the game takes so long is the commericals.

Whose bright idea was it that poker should be a televised spectator sport? Hunt this person down and stake them to an anthill!
in other words: remove from all sport programming anything involving playing cards!!

I agree. I really like to play poker (also pinochle and euchre) but it's not a sporting event and doesn't need to be televised.

Football! I hate the monotony of it and how so many people spend so much time in front of their televisions to watch it.

I think the Chargers are in a bit of legal trouble too? Or perhaps I'm thinking of another team? What team was it that had the big immoral party on the boat like a year or so ago?

poker, for sure.
nascar, for sure.
maybe horse racing (i'd at least regulate it so the horses couldn't be abused).
maybe wrestling/boxing cause it's unnecessary violence, but then wouldn't we have to make all sports injury-proof? what's the fun in that?
