Defensive holding. It's a bailout call.

I think it would be a lot better if contact was completely legal (barring headshots or whatever) within 10 yards of the LOS.

Here's something that's been bothering me lately. When a baserunner steals a base but because the catcher doesn't attempt a throw then it's indifference and not a stolen base. Just give the guy a stolen base for crying out loud! It's not like it matters!

Only idiots walk the 8th hitter to get to the pitcher, BTW. Rolling the lineup over is a moronic tactical decision.

It's called strategy.

Over the back call in basketball.

DH is one of my favorites.

Basically go back to the "Pre-Manning bitching about the Pats D-Backs" era.

The only time indifference is called, it is the correct call.

No more chairshots to the head in WWE. Seriously weak rule.

The dumbest rule in baseball is without a doubt being able to run to first on a strikeout if the catcher doesn't catch the ball. I mean seriously. That rule still boggles the mind.

Just Passin' By 05-30-2013 10:35 PM

DH in baseball
Instigator penalty in hockey
Defenseless receiver rule, and the new overtime rules, in football
Almost every new rule or adjusted rule in the NBA post-80's era

I could probably think of some others that are right up there at the top of the suck pile.

If the tuck rule wasn't so rare it would be high on the list.

I don't mind that rule, although I almost had a stroke when Carpenter struck out a Philly in the bottom of the 8th in Game 5 of the LDS and he reached first. I was sure that **** was going to score and tie the game.

That's just a made-up word baseball fans use to explain a phenomena that should never happen.

I'm sorry, but when you recruit a basketball center, you factor in how they will defend vs. score vs. rebound, etc.... When you recruit a pitcher, their ability to hit is 0% of what they are asked to do, nor should it ever be more than 0%. It is the one position in all of sports where you ask a player to do something entirely outside of what they are recruited to do. It is like asking a kicker to play linebacker or a goalie to play offense.

The result is that you have complete doofuses sitting in the batter's box and the best you can do is to teach them to bunt. You might as well just throw the at bat away.

Possession arrow in college basketball.

Seriously? Is it that ****ing difficult to do a jump ball?

That I will agree with.

I also hate sudden death NFL overtime and can't wait for playoff overtime rules to become regular season rules. It drives me nuts that one team can lose a game so often without ever once holding the ball on offense.
