It isn't a sport, Rob. Just like the annual spelling bee isn't either. That's where the "E" part of ESPN comes into play.

So it's an entertainment sport? :D I watched a show on people playing Madden video games as a tournament. That was pretty cool. I also like when they have pool or worlds strongest man competition. These are more close to sports that poker.

I noticed that Fox Sports Net shows a lot of poker shows as well. It is getting old.

Yea, but don't you think that is pretty vague? I mean, they could show anything as long as it's entertainment.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You do realize that we have to play a gig with old sKool tonight? Hopefully he doesn't see you hatin' on the NASCAR.

Nascar is actually very tough on your body. You have to be in excessive heat in hot suits all day. You can dehydrate very fast.

Poker makes me dehydrated. Especially when Im eatin salty peanuts.

Maybe if one of the chairs that theyre playin poker in, would all of sudden lose controll and hit the wall. That would make it more TV friendly. Or if one of the guys that was losing, jumped over the table at the guy thats winning. That would be good too.

I think you are on to something here....They should have post game poker fights. A no holds barred match against one another, pretty sweet.

Yea, they should televise that on ESPN, the RSWC, Rough Sex World Championship. I'd compete! Spooging for distance, titty slapping contest (who can slap a titty and make it giggle the most). Those sound like pretty decent games to me.
