I don't understand why people playing cards should be on any sports channel.

Why is 18 And Pregnant on a music channel? Why is Pawn Stars on a history channel?

I agree. And someone the other day told me that dart tournaments were being shown on TV. Equally as boring. Really enjoy playing it though.

They used to have Scrabble & Magic the Gathering Tourneys on ESPN. Now we get all day sportscenter. I miss the old days.

Why does Radio Shack ask for your phone number when you buy batteries?

I would rather watch someone build a card house than watch them play poker on tv....but thats just me. I would still consider it better ESPN programming than say the 2 hours every day that are dedicated to Skip sucking the balls and johnson of tebow while disregarding any actual relevant sports story.
