1. NASCAR -- Cars racing around an oval track for basically an entire day. Great. The fans say that the more you watch it, the more subtleties you will pick up, but the same can be said about staring at a pile of poo.
2. Football -- They play for 5 seconds, then stop for 30. For 3 hours! Also, when anything exciting happens, there is about a 50% chance that it will be called back (and erased) because of ...

• Taylor (i've never liked this name either. It's pretty mediocre.)
• Fillmore
• Pierce (ONLY Pierce Brosnan can pull it off)
• Buchanan (its badass, but if you say it over and over, it starts to sound gross. Like ...
