[DFSNOLE]

The Ocho will replace ESPN2 all day today.

Considering I watched international dodgeball on ESPNU this weekend, I thought it already had.

 

[DFSNOLE]

Currently showing is the World Championship of Ping Pong.

 

[ggmike1992]

That’s a bold move. Lets see if it pays off.

Golic and Wingo are currently talking to a top-10 world-ranked rock/paper/scissors player.

Stuart Scott: Steiner says you’re not in the Top 50.

Evander Holyfield: In the world?!

Stuart Scott: in GEORGIA!

(Cuts away to Holyfield, wearing the Heavyweight Championship belt, stomping through the ESPN Studios looking for someone while pounding his fist into his boxing glove)

Evander Holyfield: Charlie, come out and get your whoopin’!

Charlie Steiner: (hiding under his desk from Holyfield)

Looks like I didn't remember exactly correct, but really close.

Man this is an old video. Terrible quality, but just as funny as it was ~20 years ago.

I'm ashamed to say I watched it too.

Loved that commercial. Steiner's still my favorite ESPN anchor.

I find myself watching pro bowling on Sundays after NFL Countdown ends... being in the NYC market means I almost always have to watch the Jets or Giants, would rather watch Pete Weber bowl strikes.

Love it when he can’t stop laughing.

 

[NoleInNC]

I wanted to see spikeball. they showed it at 4am this morning I guess and I forgot to set dvr. crazy game.

 

[More Kirk Less Spock]

Just saw a bunch of people chasing a cheese wheel....One dude kept yelling, "That's not yo cheese!" - ok, I made the part up, but there were a bunch of people chasing a cheese wheel...as a sport

Reminds me of those awful "bum fights" videos from like 10 years ago.

And where’s the bo-taoshi?

 

[seminoledq]

How about the wife carrying competitions where the prize is your wife's weight in beer? What time is that on?

 

[TarponSpringsNole]

Did miss something? Cut the cable years ago.

I’d watch all that stuff. lol

 

[DFSNOLE]

The mothership of The Ocho sports is on now; Dodgeball!

I saw another show with dudes sort of randomly tackling each other. No idea what the rules were, but the entertainment value was high.

 

[cfbfan23]

Women's Dodgeball Championship - England with a big win over the Austrians in a battle of heavyweights.

Thank you for televising it, Ocho.

I saw the tackling game. As far as I could tell you were supposed to run to the other side and tag as many people as possible without being tackled.

it was weird but cool to watch. Reminds me of a game you'd play with your brothers or friends when you were stuck somewhere supremely boring. My stepbrother (also a huge Nole fan) and I once played get the rock for hours. Throw the rock to the deep end of the pool and try to make it back to the shallow end without being drowned or them getting the rock from you. Good times.

I would rather watch this stuff any day over all these talking head shows. Its actually are turn to the original roots of ESPN. I loved watching different sports from around the world.
