Programming Note For ESPN 2

[Sid Onmyface]

Chess is not a sport.
Chess has never been a sport.
Chess will never be a sport.
Stop it.
Stop it now.

Not that I think chess is one.

If all ESPN did was air Baseball, Football, Basketball and Hockey, their programming would be extremely limited and frankly, boring.

While it's not a sport, it is competition, and a nice change of pace. I set up my chess board and played along with them, figuring what moves I'd play and seeing how it stacked up against their moves. They played some great strategies - it was quite a battle to see who would crack and make the offensive first.

Then again, I get a kick out of when they air the spelling bees too, so maybe it's just me.

I demand to see more longest drive championships and MLS!!

I wanna see guys crank the hell out of a little white ball strictly by throwing using those special titanium, graphite, poly-super-metal clubs that my grandma would be able to even get a few hundred yards out of with her swing.

Then I wanna see the firce rivalry between San Jose and D.C. United and watch a bunch of Americans act like a bunch of Euros - minus the kicking talent of course - as dive all over the place and act as if they have been shot just after being touched lightly on the shulder by an opponent hand.

I can't wait til the next log cutting competition to hit the air.

And next year's hot dog eating contest will be one for the ages.

And next year's hot dog eating contest will be one for the ages.

From what I've heard.. Animal activists are demanding they allow the hot dog eating bear from "Man V Beast" to take part as a contestant.
