Badminton world even more delusional than we are

Skyline College, in San Bruno, Calif., is all fired up for a new BADMINTON SEASON! What does that have to do with volleyball? Well, seems that badminton is implementing this WILD new scoring system called "rally scoring," to -- get this -- "make matches more easily televised."

Aw. That's adorable. See, years ago the Volleyball Powers That Be believed that rally scoring would get us on TV, too, make our matches "more easily televised."

How'd that turn out for us? Not exactly a lollapalooza of televised matches out there. And if it didn't work for us, it's sure as hell not working for a sport that uses a "shuttlecock."

It's just sad to see another sport get their hopes up because of the promise of rally scoring. It's just like when Springfield fell for the monorail flim-flam: The cosmic ballet goes on.
