I like football,but what about this for an abomination.
22 guys line up ...they get about 30seconds per play,
the play lasts for only about 5 seconds ...you can’t
tackle a quarterback if he is “in the grasp”, you can’t hit
a ball receiver after he goes more than 5 yards down the
field(unless he has the ball). No one has to “TOUCH”, the
ball “DOWN” in the endzone to get a touchdown...they just
have to be in possession of the ball while any part of the
ball breaks the plane of the end zone...There is so much
substitution, someone can be a terrible athlete, but be
successful cuz they fill only one niche (i.e. jumbo defensive
or offensive linemen)....so baseball may have a slow pace
, but it ain’t totally useless, and it’s got lots of strategy,
and hinges on minuscule performance factors, and the only
guy trying to kill you is the pitcher, catcher, and guy
trying to stop a double or triple play.

P.S. why don’t they run the whole football game like a two
minute drill? Let’s find out how great these athletes really
are.

Or, how about this:

As the network returns from a 3-4 series of 30 second ads, some washed up player intones, “Welcome back. Its the Bills 24 and the Jets 17 at the half. Up next we return you to the studio for analysis of the first half, right after these.

Segue into another 3-4 series of 30 second ads.

They do, but I think they call it "Rugby".
