top five things in sports that need to go away forever

Ridiculous over-celebrating in football.
This is one of the most annoying and pathetic displays in sports, period. I'm so tired of seeing a safety come unblocked on a delayed blitz, sack the quarterback, and then leap and prance around like a nancyboy like he just did something awesome. Hey dude, congratulations, you just did what every non-crippled person in the world would do in the same situation; knocked down a defenseless quarterback. Well done.

Another perfect example is the receiver that catches a ball for a 7 yard gain, achieves a first down, and gets up and flaps his arms like a bird, convulses like an epileptic, and points forward with his arm signalling the first down to everyone watching, as if we didn't already know. Congratulations man, you just ran a hook route and caught a pass, something that occurs about 5034403 times a season. Hooray for being mediocre!

Or how about the defensive end or linebacker that tackles a guy for a loss and stomps his foot and kicks dirt around and performs all manner of histrionics, even though the running back tripped and fell amidst a hail of bodies and the DE just happened to be the guy that touched him first? Congratulations, you did nothing but felt the need to be an idiot anyway.

The pie in the face on post game interviews.
For those 6 people out there in the land of the internets that haven't seen this, when a player in major league baseball is being interviewed by the broadcast booth after a game, another player from the interviewee's team sneaks up with a plate of shaving cream and smears it all over the dudes face on live tv. This display pretty much happens on every interview now. It wasn't funny the first time, but maybe, just maybe, it will be funny the 171st time it happens. I'd rather take a cheese grater to the face than see it again. Truth.

Umpires and referees that think they are part of the entertainment.
Some of the ways umpires in baseball make third strike calls is just ridiculous. They literally look like they are trying to punch through concrete walls with their fist pumps. Click for an example

Also, you have to hate the basketball referees who break their own hips when they call a blocking foul.

Umpires and referees who make horrible calls that decide games.
This is the worst of all of them. It seems nowadays that a game can't go five minutes without an awful game-changing call that was blatantly wrong. Let's see here, TEAM A just scored a game winning touchdown on a 76 yard pass, the fans are going crazy!!!! what a finish!!!....wait, wait a second here, there's a flag in the backfield, looks like holding, let's check the replay...yep there it is, 10 yards away from the play and had absolutely no effect on the touchdown and it was a questionable call at that, but Joe Idiot Referee called it anyway. Way to ruin the game, moron. These calls are so pervasive across all sports that it makes me want to never watch anything again, except for fictional television that never fails to entertain, like an episode of Friends.

Coaches that sucked with every other team they coached, but still get jobs anyway.
Ugh. What makes owners and general managers think a coach with a .316 career winning percentage with 4 previous teams will suddenly get a clue and learn how to manage a game? Honestly, why do Norv Turner, Wade Phillips, Jim Riggleman, Larry Brown, Mike Dunleavy, Dick Jauron, Dusty Baker, Marvin Lewis, etc, have jobs? One may never know.
