Baseball lovers deserve that torture.

I hope you drop a dumbbell on your big toe.

...and then your toe becomes septic and you have to have your leg amputated.

"Coach needs them to BUY IN to his system"

It is almost always about "understanding" rather than "buying in", right? Our hoops team wasn't skeptical of oscar's motion offense, they just didn't know how the hell to run it.

[kso_FAN]

Buy in and understanding are different things. JMHO.

In baseball, announcers will often say "the tie goes to the runner". There is no such rule. There is no such thing as a tie.

That's a pretty werid one, CF3. There is such a thing as a tie, if it is perceived to be so in the umpire's POV. If the umpire perceives a tie, he calls it in favor of the runner. What is so hard to grasp here? I mean are you talking about nanoseconds of difference, so technically it is not a tie? I don't get it here.

I hate it when people say "line duh scrimmage" because it's "line of scrimmage" and there is no "D" sound anywhere

What kind of morons are you hanging out with? I've never heard anyone pronounce it like that.

As God as my witness, I have never heard a "d" sound. I have heard the "of" pronounced "uhh". If that is what you are referring to, then I'll agree, but you specifically mention a "d" sound, so I cannot agree.

I always feel like chucking a beer at the tv when an NFL announcer says.  "Now the yellow line on the screen isn't official."     

[Stevesie60]

I can't believe they still explain instant review.

"Now remember, there must be indisputable evidence to overturn it."

I can't believe they still explain instant review.

"Now remember, there must be indisputable evidence to overturn it."

I bet every NFL game telecast there is at least one first time viewer.  It's for that person.  Circle of life.
