The most exciting two minutes in sports?

So what are the dullest two minutes in sports?  A few suggestions.

The last two minutes of an NBA where one team has a 15 point lead but the other team fouls nonstop, just in case?

–

The two minutes a manager talks to his pitcher on the mound, after that pitcher has suddenly given up a couple hits and a home run in about seven pitches, and the reliever hasn’t had time to warm up yet.

–

The two minutes after the two minute warning in the NFL, when one team is leading by three touchdowns.

–

Bengie Molina running to first base?  Or Nomar Garciaparra getting ready in the batter’s box?

–

Hillary Clinton says she has instructed her daughter Chelsea to go to Churchill Downs and place a bet on Eight Belles, the only filly in the race.  

So it might be a sign for Hillary if Eight Belles wins.  But what if the winner is Big Brown, Visionaire or Cool Coal Man?

–

Albert Hofmann, the inventor of LSD, just died at the age of 102.  Will his tombstone read “Off on a long strange trip?”

–

Eli Manning and the Giants went to Washington this week for a photo op with President Bush.  Well, at least SOME New Yorkers made it to the White House.

–

Actually President Bush was a little surprised to see the Giants show up.  Late in the 4th quarter, he had turned off the TV when Tom Brady unfurled that sideline banner saying “Mission Accomplished.”
