The next big ESPN sports show: Watching grass grow....
Actually, it appears they have already been showing dominoes tourneys on ESPN Deportes for a while now on Tuesday nights. Interesting article here. This guy doesn't like it. Like wingnut, I love me some bones, but I'm not sure if I can get into it. I'll probably check it out, though... God knows I'm already addicted to WSOP/WPT telecasts.
Ehhh, sure. If they're not going to re-air old spelling bees, the least they can do is try something else. I admit to not understanding the allure of watching other people play poker, but hey, whatever keeps those Doggy-Steps and Tom Emansky videos moving. (In related and completely unironic news, ESPN2 is airing 2 hours of women's curling this afternoon. Goodbye, productivity!)
Can "Monopoly" be far behind?
I never could watch poker. I know I won't be able to watch dominoes. Jenga, now there's a game I might be able to handle on tv. So let's see now, they stopped covering the NHL. Now they are going to start covering dominoes. Before you know it, ESPN will be nothing but the card and board game network. Am I going to start getting "Learn how to play dominoes like the pros" spam now?
I love the domino sequence in V For Vendetta.
We are this much closer to "The World Series of Dice" as predicted by Dave Chappelle.
when is the hop scotch tournament going to held?
The Next Big Sporting Event on ESPN-- The great sport of book reading (quietly of course)
AS long as their doing this why don't they bring back the bikini exercise shows or have a bikini swimsuit challenge I miss the hot babes I used to watch in the morning exercise shows dominos how about adult spelling bees
From The Onion: 'ESPN Now Broadcasting Three Card Monte, Go Fish.'
we ARE too late for an april fools joke right????
I personally like watching poker, I've spent a good portion of my Thanksgiving watching Chris Moneymaker win a title, but I think that dominoes is taking the "gambling phase" a bit far. However, I'm sure there are Americans out there who will stay up late at night to watch the World Championship of Dominoes.
I'm still hoping they bring back Aussie rules football! Still, dominoes beats watching paint dry...not by much mind you.
And what in the hell ever happened to televised Putt-Putt Golf anyway!?! I loved it!
The appeal of watching poker to me is the announcers and the stories. The announcers do a great job of keeping it interesting and they always tell the player's stories. Watching people fish has been on television for years. At least, something is happening at all times with poker and dominoes.
