Objectivity: How Refreshing

Flopping. Cheating. Begging. Influencing. Subjectivity. All of the preceding words are utilized in the world of sports. For example, the Utah Jazz have taken flopping to a new level. It has to be coached and ingrained into them that selling the "foul" is part of the game. If that is the case, watching that type of "game" is garbage. Andrei Kirilenko has taken over the "King of Flop" from John Stockton. This type of basketball literally nauseates me. I for one am ready for the NBA to take a closer look at this aspect of the "game." It has gotten to a point where this is practiced and honed as if it is part of one's craft. How do you think this checklist would go down with Mr. Kirilenko? "Let's see, today I am going to work on free throws, boxing out, and flopping." Essentially, in my opinion,  cheating is being coached here.

Sports Rules That Are Beyond Annoying

I've been thinking about these abominations in sport for quite some time.  No need for some crescendo of an introduction.  Let's get right to it.

Down without contact in college football. Is there anything worse than a zip pass to the WR that is a bit low so he drops his knee to the turf out of instinct to ensure he catches the ball only to have it blown dead at that spot?  Moronic.  Change it pronto.
