    Any SlamBall fans out there?

    I was channel surfing and came across the SlamBall draft.

    Anybody remember that kid Arthur Agee from that documentary HOOPS? Well, Arthur got drafted in the SlamBall draft.

    The fact that that the slamball draft actually televised is an indication of how crappy TV is right now...and the only thing scarier than that is that slamball actually HAS a draft...

    Yeah, Arthur Agee went to school here (Arkansas State University). In fact my sister dated him for a long while.

    Well, I'd rather watch Slamball over the WNBA. And the WNBA somehow makes it on ABC. Now, that's crap.

    I watched that Slamball documentary and saw that dude snap his ankle. His foot was snapped to the side and bone was sticking out... that was freaky.

    I dunno. I was kinda happy when they turned it into "the first network for men" and still kept Star Trek : The Next Generation on. Kinda validated my existence and made me feel like one of the guys. The rest of the crap is pretty ignorant, though, I must admit. Although I'm starting to watch the WWE more...

    It was human drama! They followed four guys who hoped to be drafted. We were watching their dreams be realized or go down the toilet.

    One of the guys was the #2 overall pick as I recall, two others went in the middle rounds, and the last guy went in the middle of the last round. I was clutching my Cheetos by then!

    Man, that was gruesome. When they actually showed it my stomach lurched and didn't return to normal for a looooong time. I still shudder thinking about it.

    Has anybody seen that show on Spike TV with those Japanese people doing all that crazy sh*t with the American guys doing voice overs? Most Extreme Elimination Challenge....Funniest crap in a long time.

    I dont watch TNN very often, but it's about time we got our own channel...women have two of their own( 3 if you count HGN;))

    and no pgabriel, I would not waste my time watching the draft for slamball. Hell, I barely have time to catch Simpsons and Family Guy when it comes on...

    what up Doc? you dont watch Stripperella? :p

    Hey hey now, Stripperella isn't anywhere near as bad as the ads would lead you to believe. It's actually pretty funny and the animation is top notch.

    Ya know, the funniest part of the show isn't watching the people eat their sh*t in the obstacle courses... it's the hilarious dialogue that they dub over the japanese guys. Strangely, it's the writing that makes it so damn funny

    Love that show
