    Happy 8/8 everyone! 24 hours of The Ocho! (on ESPN2)

    This is what made ESPN great back in the day. Removing this type of "filler" programming and replaying the same old SportCenter or Alabama vs. Auburn over and over was the Death Knell. RIP lawn mower races at midnight. LONG LIVE LAWN MOWER RACES AT MIDNIGHT!

    What ruined ESPN was their focus on things outside of sports, like activism and politics. People watch sports to escape all that crap.

    BSPN2 literally had this movie playing on the network the other day. I was shocked and disgusted at the same time.

    I like the idea of watching dodge-ballers throw at jugglers, and kitten pole vaulting. I will watch.

    One of the dodge-juggling teams they showed had some really hot chicks in yoga pants. I can't find any pics anywhere.

    His (Parker) dad is one of the league owners. That decision was about as rigged as it gets and nobody was ashamed of it either.

    Fun sport anyway.
