Eight Bad Ideas in Sports

Do they really spend thousands of dollars for these ideas? What were they thinking?

  • The Houston Texans- an expansion team is one thing, but couldn't they think of a REAL name for the poor guys?  Besides, how many teams will Houston get before they give up on the city?

  • Michael Jordan- I didn't mind him returning to basketball the first time, but come one now.  I'll always be a Jordan fan, but how many times is the old guy going to return? He spent most of last season injured; is he waiting for a limb to fall off before he quits for good?

  • Luge- Whether it's on pavement or ice, it's just plain out not a good idea to hurl yourself down a course on what is basically a fancy skateboard. Didn't momma teach us anything?

  • Instant replay- If the refs didn't get it right the first time, do you really think a second chance to look at it is really going to make anyone change their mind and get it right?

  • Restrictor plate racing- So instead of letting the fast cars go ahead and run, hold the whole pack together at a slower speed and see how many wrecks we can have in a 500 mile race.

  • Strikes- Hasn't baseball learned yet that every time they threaten to strike, another batch of fans gives up on the money hungry fools?

  • Coaches who can't play- No matter how well someone knows a game they can't tell you how to do something and not be able to do it themselves.

  • Winter Olympics- Can we come up with somethign more unfair? How many countries plain out don't qualify for winter sports because of their climate? We've seen what happens when Jamaica builds a bobsled team.
