People sometimes say that "Bad football is still better than no football." What's a game (that doesn't involve your own team) that you would point to as an argument to the contrary?

Not like “I’d rather not have a game played than watch my team lose”, but a game that, as a neutral, was legitimatey so painful to watch from a sheer incompetence perspective that you’d rather be in the offseason again?

Last year’s El Assico was pretty up there for me as a recent example.

A pro example - not quite neutral but I had very little vested interest in the results of the game: 2021 Lions @ Browns where we got to see a Lions team in year one of a complete rebuild, led by their backup Tim Boyle, take on the corpse of Baker Mayfield who had no business being out on the field that day.
