We've all seen it. A team is losing and in desperation intentionally fouls in hope for more time.

Personally, I think it's stupid, and pisses me off when it works.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

It works?!?!?!?

Le Mediocrity. It's fun when we win, and funny when we lose!

I have *never* seen a team come from behind by doing this. I mean, I don't blame them 'cause you still have to win, and winning means stopping the clock. But for the fans, it's the worst way to end a basketball game. Go out with decency, will you? Sigh. I guess being a Knicks fan, I see this all too often. We have the lead, and then give it up midway through the 4th, only to spend the last minute fouling.

Intentional fouling stinks, especially in Basketball. "No blood, no foul," I say.

Egads man! Intentional fouling? The fiends! Why, whoever should intentionally foul in a basketball game should be cast into the fires of Hell!
