Sounds like they ripped off a movie.

 

[Col. Angus]

I'd probably watch all that because why not.

Need a mud wrestling world championship and they'd get ratings.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Hell yes, Phil!

Possibly the best day of ESPN programming in my adult life.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

And yet, no dodgeball.

 

[Glenn's Take]

And yet, no dodgeball.

You missed it at 4 in the morning.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

You missed it at 4 in the morning.

Yeah, but that's TRAMPOLINE dodgeball. The bastardized cousin to the national treasure that is classic dodgeball. Doesn't count.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Patches O'Houlihan would turn over in his grave if he saw his beloved game bastardized by being played on a trampoline.

RIP, sweet prince.

Any reason why these knobs would put 90% of the TV lineup during times when people can't watch? These can't be live, and therefore, more programming should be between 6:00pm and midnight.

If you can't dodge a wrench, you can't dodge a ball......

If only there were smart enough to rotate shows from this line-up every time they now have Jemele Hill penciled in. Maybe they wouldn't have to fire 100 people again next year.
