Someone needs to slap the suits at ESPN

I’m not sure who is making the programming decisions at ESPN but whomever this person is he needs a sharp blow to the back of the head with a 2×4. When I got home last night ESPN was showing the final match of the world Scrabble® tournement.

Scrabble.

For the love of whomever, it’s a board game! And while I realize that 24 hours are a lot to fill up with sports related programming, not everything that takes skill, like poker, is a sport, and certainly not everything is visually interesting enough to show on television.

I mean, hell, soccer is actually a sport. Show some of that instead. Maybe you might, you know, build up a fan base or something.
