OT: watching sidecarcross on the teevee

Great stuff from a discipline that's odd enough to not get too much coverage.

I really do think we need an ESPN 8 'the Ocho' to showcase all these 'fringe' sports.

For example: Underwater Hockey worlds are going on. That'd be a good show for 'the Ocho.' :nod

Now there's a thing called 'spikeball' on

More oddball sports that look like fun

Rugby 7s is a great game to watch.

I have also developed an affinity for Footy (Australian Rules Football) but that one gets recorded in the middle of the night and viewed when I have time.

The other day I was in a sports bar meeting with someone and they had professional cornhole on the tube, I was aghast. The guys were dressed like professional bass fisherman, I had to look it up to make sure a I wasn't hallucinating

I have been watching the 7s

Some really good action

USA has improved a lot. The women gave the All Blacks (NZ) all they could handle in a very exciting game.

US men play their second game tonight.

Cornhole is fishing for a hole instead of in a hole...

If there is prize money offered and enough money to produce a TV show, Air time can be bought on ESPN.

They need to fill up their programing.

If it then catches on you are a pro sport.
