feckless - FEK-LESS - worthless, weak, ineffective, a waste of time

Example: "According to the Wall Street Journal, if you decide to watch the three hour football game on TV this weekend, you will see about 67 minutes of players standing around between plays, about 100 minutes of replays with the crowd shots and commercials, 3 seconds of the cheerleaders, 6 seconds of injured players and 11 minutes of actual playing time - a feckless way to spend an afternoon."
