Hmm...  How about one such as the following:

"It's the kind of game that you just want to go home, sit down
and play right away."

I consider the sentence to be ungrammatical because I view "that" as a
relative pronoun which is the subject of a verb that is not
expressed.  Expressed grammatically, I believe it should be "It's the
kind of game that MAKES you just want to go home, sit down and play
right away."
