I watch alot of ESPN, and recently, the real to fake sports ratio is getting seriously skewed. I dont mind them showing strange old "Wide World of SPorts" stuff from the 70's, or something like that.
But since when is Professional Darts ESPN material? And its not even a spoof, they take it seriously! They have introductions with smoke and lasers. I'm sorry, but anything you get better at as you consume alcohol is not a sport, and darts definately falls into this category.
The kicker was today when I saw the "World Championship of Dominoes". I shit you not. Dominoes. A bunch of dudes sitting around a table playing a board game. WTF. This is like, OLN material. Not for the "Worldwide Leader in Sports".

I normally watch TSN for sports coverage. They're much worse than ESPN, as they show WWE wrestling and poker. They even displayed a few angry letters regarding such coverage and defended it, saying WWE wrestling is "sports entertainment" and that poker is a part of "sports fan culture". I can't wait until they show beer chugging and hot wing eating contests.

I think it's because of all the major sports, baseball is the only one being played right now. It's the annual dead period at the end of summer after basketball and hockey are done, but before football has started.
