Right now on ESPN2: DOMINOES.
Really, there's gotta be a table tennis match somewhere...or just talk about the World Cup/NBA Finals for an hour.

They can't be this freaking hard up.

1. Yes, you'd think they'd be covering the world cup
I've often wondered why the US is the only industrialized nation that never really incorporated soccer ("football" in the rest of the world) into its collective culture.

8. I actually enjoyed Texas Hold'em for a few weeks
when it first hit big, but it got old really fast. How many shows do they have anyway? It has to be in the dozens a day range now.

9. And Your Problem Is What Exactly?
I'm not quite sure I understand. Is there something wrong with Espn2 broadcasting a dominoe competition? :shrug:

I mean, of all the things to care about in this world, you're complaining about Espn2 programming? :rofl:

10. What's next, three-legged sack races? Anyone who watches DOMINOES
on TV really, REALLY needs to get out of the house more.

(Ditto for poker.)

23. I'm not sure what is more horrifying....
The fact that they are showing the championship on A&E, or the fact that there is apparently a league.

17. Chapelle's Show had a "World Series of Dice" sketch on, a
season or two back - I remember watching the rerun on Comedy Central a couple of months back, and practically wetting my pants in bed because I was laughing so freaking hard! :rofl:

20. Back in the early days
of cable and ESPN they used to have marble shooting competitions so this isn't too bad. They could, however, devote some time to the lesser covered college sports.

Olemiss will kick Miami's butt back to the hurricane belt.
