ESPN shows the national spelling bee.
Get over it.

Yeah, the WSOP is taking up valuable ESPN air time that they could be using to air more lame whose now segments, NFL shows that amount to people taking random guesses at the next season, and people eating and throwing up hot dogs.

Whats this guys point?

All those other extraneous programs bug me also.
When they COULD be showing actual sports that people care about and are interested in seeing.

Poker on TV is definitely preferrable to Who's Now or Hot Dog Eating.
But I'd rather be watching an actual baseball game or something.
Or even professional lacrosse.

Back in the day ESPN used to show Canadian Football League as well as Australian Rules Football games in their entirety among other sports.
Man, that Aussie football stuff was AWESOME!
Go Magpies! Beat the Kangaroos!!!!
