First there was curling on espn, ok no big deal that is a semi legit sport. Next thing is arm wrestling, which is even less legit. I thought I had seen it all when juggling?! was on last month. Now its Scrabble, and they even have the poker comentater doing play-by-play. I am pretty sure the reason for this bizzare programming is the lack of hockey :(

It's really showing that it's Espn... no real emphasis on the S any more.

Not that scrabble is really all that entertaining.

ESPN defines sports as a competition where there's a winner and loser. I'm gonna skip the scrabble championship, but when spelling bee championship comes, I'm gonna order buffalo wings.

scrabble championships are so crazy, what they can do with the words is crazy.

Dictionary definition of a sport: any game or competition.

Dullard's definition of a sport: an intensely physical game or competition. Thus to me the NBA is a sport. Casually shooting hoops with a friend in your driveway isn't.
