All Time Low for ESPN

[BleedDodgerBlue]

I understand alternative programming. I understand the need for more than the 3 major sports to be on television. I understand that there are plenty of people out there that will watch auto racing or figure skating, or bowling or whatever. I even understand spelling bees.

What I don't understand or care to is team televised dominos. Have you seen these people. There are announcers, commentators, chicks giving interviews. It boggles my mind not about the competitors, but who is actually watching this. Pardon me if there are some hardcore domino television junkies out there, I feel for you.
I cannot think of anything this network has ever showed that is worse than this.

gl

the only thing remotely entertaining about dominos is winning, smacking the board in pieces and yelling DOMINO MOTHER FCKR. But they don't do that on tv.

you mean it's even lower than the barry bonds crap they had on....i didn't know it can get lower than that.

at least with Barry Bonds you can laugh at him. at least with Bonds you have a knowledge that the guy is an idiot and you can be entertained hating him making a fool of himself.

with dominos you just kind of sit there and ask why are there announcers here and what am i missing.

[IntenseOperator]

are there any drunken gunnfights after the intense competition?

 

[DeadPrez]

IMO, nothing is worse than sportscenter

that show is unwatchable to me, whenever I need an update I just go over to ESPNews.

these stupid hosts think they are doing play by play or something, which they are, but on a highlight?

I can't stand that show or any of the talking heads that host it (particularly stuart scott). and what is that stage setup and all that shit in the background, are they on a spaceship? :shrug:

I do see your point on the dominos tho BDB, it probably is worse, but just needed an outlet to vent a little of the frustration I have had for sportscenter of the last decade

i very rarely watch sportscenter...i also can't stand the hosts....

 

[THE HITMAN]

Geez, I didn't see the dominoes thing(s). Incredible, I hope it's only on during the week and on days.

I haven't watched s-center since March Madness.

Is the domino competition sponsored by Colt 45, or And 1, by any chance?

 

[Nosigar]

I love to play dominos, though haven't played in y.ears

But this is a drinking, gambling activity at least all the years that I played. How the F is thi on TV? ESPN lives off football.

 

[Sun Tzu]

ESPN was much better when all it had was rodeo, Australian Rules Football and Hockey.

Sportscenter is brutal. Stuart Scott as part of everything is the greatest eveil (of course he is "old school" -lmfao). And while I am interested in Poker, showing 3 year old tourneys 14 hours a day is shameful.

Occasionally ESPN News but that's it. I am white and 40. I am not part of their demographic.

 

[Mr. Poon]

Did you check out the rock , paper , scissors competition the other night on A & E

I swear I remember one time in college coming home drunk from the bar and that was on some sort of public access channel. And of course my dumb arse sat there drunk, playing along.

 

[gjn23]

dominos??

anybody know a sports book that takes bets on this?

love to have some action for tomorrows matches.

BDB, they had Tournament Scrabble on once last year, I'm not saying thats worse than dominos, but it sure ain't better.
