Point of decorum

In the age of TiVo, it is acceptable to answer your phone and immediately ask your caller not to tell you the score of a major sporting event that has concluded but that you have not yet had time to watch. A soccer game does not, however, qualify as a "major sporting event"--so requests not to divulge a score thereof are unnecessary and, frankly, moronic. I'm looking at you, Dork 3.
