rushgoober Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 For the life of me I can't understand why I like watching this. I don't play poker, though mostly because I'm not into gambling, and I really have no interest in playing poker, but for some reason when they show the tournaments on tv, I'm mesmerized by them. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 It says a lot about today's TV talent and the amount of worthless channels out there, when people playing cards becomes a spectator sport... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I love playing Hold 'Em, but can only watch it on TV when celebrities are playing. And I'll take Poker anyday over wrestling or Nascar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the best sporting events. Like the Lumberjack competition, Spelling, Bee, Armwrestling Competion, Trick Shot Pool, Pool, Bowling, and Darts. They take them all so serious.

You just reminded me of the movie "Dodgeball," where the dodgeball finals are covered on "ESPN 8" (affectionately called "the eight" by sports fans). ESPN eight??? BWAHAHAHAHA!!

Stormtron Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I saw a jump rope competition on ESPN2 one time...and for god knows whatever reason I was watching pool and one of the commentators said "if you don't leave here loving nine ball, YOU DON'T HAVE A PULSE!"

Slime Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I like watching poker on TV but ONLY if the pros are at it. Most celebrities are not great poker players, though a few exceptions exist (I think James Woods does decently in the WPT event). I've also seen trick shot pool and darts on TV. Hell, if Korea can televise matches of Starcraft, then truly anything is fair game for sports TV. I like Starcraft though, so I won't bash.

Jump Rope?!?! That would be awesome. And don't forget about eating contests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
