They need a ESPN F for more Football. I hate watching all the other prissy stuff just to see one 20 clip about Football.

ESPN Classic shows quite a bit of college games, but I think that NFL Films keeps them from ever showing any (non-NFL Presents) classic games. Or, at least, I've never seen a game broadcast in its original form (though they do the same for NBA and MLB games).

I wish they had ESPN C.... the all Curling channel...

I could watch that stuff all day...

I wish ESPN would try doing some reporting instead of sensationalizing... on any channel... in any media form. :shock:

I'm just waiting for ESPN 8 "The Ocho" to finally launch.

At least you don't have to wait for them to watch extreme dodgeball. It comes on the Game Show Network!

I've watched that... that's such a crock... it's like the WWF... except 10 times more horrible...

Curling is where the excitement is at people... it's slowly becoming America's "Next Great American Past Time"....

The best thing about curling is the fact that anyone can play it. You just need a broom and something to throw. If you don't have ice, you can just cover your hardwood floors in baby oil.

Pshaw. You probably said that same thing about Slam Ball. Look how that took off. You can't see the future in front of your face.

I know that I'm glad that I invested in American Gladiators when I did.

YEAH! AMERICAN GLADIATORS! :rock:

That and Double Dare should become Olympic Sports... right beside Curling...

You know, if they changed the name to X-Treme Gladiatorz and punch up the contests a little they could revive that franchise.

Irn-Bru · Post by **Irn-Bru** » Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:39 pm

Perhaps that Boston corporation that considered buying the NHL should apply their 3.5 billion investment to X-Treme Gladiatorz!

As long as they bring those foxy women gladiators back, I'll watch. That, and if they take all the events that use tennis balls and replace them with lacrosse balls.

And replace the announcers with two nameless blondes in leather pants. Mmm, leather pants ...

BringThePain! · Post by **BringThePain!** » Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:48 pm

X-Treme Gladiatorz!

Introducing the Gladiatorz:

"JUICE"

"SKITZO"

"HE ATE ME"

"YURALLDOOMED"

Dang, no Nitro.

*sigh* I guess that I can still watch it. . . .

General Failure · Post by **General Failure** » Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:55 pm

That's not 'Gladiatorz, that's Bum Fights!

BringThePain! · Post by **BringThePain!** » Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:59 pm

the Gladiatorz all went on strike... something about the owners wanting a cap and the Gladz didn't... I don't know... so all I could find were these guys...

So, if they are going to spell it like that, does that mean they will be so hip as to forgo traditional advertising and just hack into web sites to put up pages that says "ph33r X-Treme Gladiatorz"
