Stupid sports stuff
don't know if anybody ever did this but i have been thinking about some of the things in daily sport that bother me.

#1 WHY DOES THE PITCHER PUT A COAT ON WHEN HE IS ON BASE...Its nothing more than a ritual at this point. I cant stand that...i feel like screaming MAN UP!!! That cant help THAT much!!!

i heard a news guy talking about slapping hands after a missed free throw. Thats what im looking for here. Stupid ritualistic stuff that annoys you or bothers you lol

also.. most mlb players have weird batting rituals like when their standing in the batters box..

but I HATE, HATE HATE.. when guys put the velco straps on of their gloves, then take them off, put them on.. lol like 3-4 times every time they step out of the box..

or some of these long as rituals at the FT line that take sooo long.. piss me off

how about when they foul in basketball down 12 with 15 seconds left. Its got to be like 5 million to 1 that pans out for you. Its always a nonchalant foul too. Like they just touch them, barely

Im not going to lie i both won and lost on that scenario but i still cnat stand it even when i lose

ya, i would hate that but that has saved my ass in a huge way on a really big wager back when I first started gambling and was stupid lol.. if it weren't for a late game double digit lead foul, I would have lost almost my entire bankroll and i might not be betting today.. lol

so that doesn't bug me as much as it may others haha

Alot of it is just an intimidation but also they are trying to keep the heat in, as they just worked up a big sweat in the dressing room and they do not want to get cold, one of the worst things that can happen as a fighter
