Where do you draw the line on "sports" you will watch on tv?

My brother in law will watch - edit - has watched the Scrabble Championships on ESPN2. This man would watch a Candyland Tournament if it was on ESPN. So, what's the worst thing you will watch?

Personally I think it's sad that ESPN shows Poker on tv. How the hell can you watch guys play cards? No way this can be exciting.

Other sports I thin are a waste on tv, and remember, they don't show MMA on ESPN.

Bowling
Cup Stacking
Hot Dog Eating
National Spelling Bee

Its easier just to say what I watch:

Football (The American kind)
Rugby
Rugby-lite (league)
BBall
MMA
Boxing
Olympics
Snooker
Gaming

Anything else can GTFO. I understand why stat junkies watch Baseball, but I cant understand why families and beer guzling rednecks watch it, its slow and boring. If I was drunk Id wanna watch fights and big guys thumping inot each other like Football or Rugby. If I was drunk Id wanna watch Kobe do some baadass around the world type dunk, not some fat ass steroid freak stand at the platefor 10 minutes wahcking his feet with that bat. And dont even get me started on Racing or Pussyball.

I literally watch espn, or listen to sports radio all day. Nothing else.

THat being said, can't watch racing of any kind, golf, poker, darts...

LOVE watching, hockey, baseball, basketball, football, soccer (only euro leagues), MMA, boxing, tennis sometimes, and more

Poker is not a sport and never will be. I don't give a shit what anyone says.

Neither is stuffing hot dogs in your mouth.
