The Cardinal Way in baseball. You hit our guy on an 0-2 count, so we have to hit your best player intentionally...every time. It's going to get someone seriously injured and it's just ridiculous. That's not relegated to the Cardinals though, that's every team in baseball. It's that f***ing unwritten rules nonsense. As a baseball coach, the unwritten rules is something I stress to ignore constantly.

Managers in baseball wearing the uniform.
It's so stupid when you put it into comparison with other sports: Can you imagine Bill Belicheck and Andy Reid in Football Uniforms and pads? Greg Popovich in shorts and a tank while he paces the bench?
On second thought I think all other sports should do what baseball does with coaches and uniforms.

Most of the games are outdoors in the summer, so you need something that will breathe easy. Being in a full suit wouldn't be good for managers.

"The Magic of the FA Cup"
no! just no, there is no magic, there is just a football game, sometimes the lesser team wins and then either gets dicked in the next round by a bigger club, or can go on to have a good cup run and maybe get to Wembley, at no point does anyone saw a woman in half. I understand what they mean when pundits/the bbc say this, but once you use it every single round to describe a game where the premier league team didn't win its redundant.
also i hate the Football Focus show on BBC one, they way they do interviews on that show its like your watching some David Lynch film school project about how the military interrogate people. and Soccer Saturday can f*** off as well.

A lot of the managers are now wearing (MLB-licensed) hoodies or windbreakers in lieu of uniform tops. I think that's a step in the right direction. They aren't actual players, make them stand out more. They're getting closer to looking like football coaches. I'm okay with this.

They are so much more comfortable to coach in then the uniforms. I'm glad that it is going towards that in the MLB as well

"This is why the Premier League is the best league in the world" is fast becoming the Premier League equivalent of the "magic of the FA Cup". I hear that every time the underdog as much as takes the lead, or holds on to a draw against the favourite.

It is an overused phrase I agree, but when you take into account that LA Liga is practically a three horse field every year, Ligue 1 is a PSG charity drive and the Bundesliga is Dortmund giving Bayern their best players after running them close each year they do have an argument for it.

Thanks, Tito.

As a huge football fan, I have some fantasy football pet peeves.
1. When a player gets hurt, I don't like to hear about how your fantasy team is done. The man has a real career, a real family, a real team and real fans.
2. When people have a favorite team, draft a player from an opposing team and say something like, "I hope (player) runs for 3 touchdowns but my team still wins." So you hope your real team's defense is terrible? I just can't do that.
I played 1 year and just stopped.

Flopping, or as I like to call it, LeBroning. Jesus man nobody has ever hit you that damn hard. One of these days your going to really hurt yourself doing this and it will serve you right.
In football I really get bent when someone is flagged for excessive celebration. Dumbest damn penalty ever
In baseball I absolutely detest that the winner of the all-star game is given home field advantage on the world series. The all-star game is supposed to be nothing more than a fun little break in the season. But Bud Selig in all his glorious stupidity had to take that away. Now these guys are playing for home field advantage in a series most of them won't even get to play in. And not everyone voted into the all star game will even get to play. Good going Selig. Dumbass

My main pet peeve with the All-Star Game is that half the players really don't give a f*** about being there, while another 25% represent teams that are lucky to sniff .500 in the standings and give a shit that it "matters".

If you don't want your opponent doing a touchdown dance, don't let them score.

When the media say that a team were "rescued" or "bailed out" by their best player/s, who presumably are doing the exact job they were hired to do.
Or when the media says "if you take (outstanding player/s) out of (X) team, they'd be worse/they'd struggle/they would be lacking quality"
Well of course they obviously would.

I still haven't forgiven the FIA, Ecclestone or Tilcke for what they have done to Hockenheim.
It's been 14 years but I still hate it.

I'm getting pissed off at missing out on the on-field action while the broadcaster are showing an endless amount of instant-replays.
During a 90 minute football game, the ball is in play for approximately 60 minutes, so there is plenty of time to show replays whilst nothing is happening on the field.

Minor little rules with severe penalties. Look we want to see the best athletes do what they do. And it's annoying when you can't see them do what they do cause of some stupid breach of a rule that doesn't hurt anyone and completely ruins the outcome of a sport.
This happens in F1 a lot. An exciting race could be ruined cause one the racer's tires only just touched a white line while exiting the pits.

I noticed a lot last season, particularly while watching Championship games, that the commentator would constantly say this phrase when a team went into the lead.
'Insert Team Name has hit the front!'
Like some stupid WWE buzzword that doesn't sound natural at all.
