    So, I'm dredging through the empty wasteland known as daytime weekday television, when I come across the International Juggling Federation World Championships. If you haven't seen it, try TIVOing it one day and watching. These guys are simply amazing jugglers. And it was co-hosted by Penn Jillette. This got me to thinking about the popularity of non-sports programs on ESPN

    Cheerleading. Definitely cheerleading....

    Unless that hot Asian chick is playing pool. Then it's pool.

    Cheap Seats is awesome.

    I voted for Poker, just sorta got hooked, if you sit back and think about it, you wonder why you are, seeing as it's basically just watching people play cards. I basically learned how to play poker through watching it though.

    I agree. I like to watch poker a bit, but sheesh - it's on WAY too much. I'd rather watch pool. I really wish they would broadcast more than just 9-ball, too. I'd love to see a 14-1 continuous tournament.

    I religously watch Strong Man, spelling bees, and Scrabble competitions.

    I like poker and The Strong Man, but only the ones with Magnus Ver Magnusson.

    Why is gymnastics not a sport? :confused: Oh, and my favorite non-sport program was Playmakers.

    Actually, that's a mistake. It should say cheerleading/aerobics.

    A-Train, you need to get ESPN Classic. They usually have NFL Yearbooks on most afternoons. The Oiler's Yearbooks are great to watch.
