Dominos

[dontgrabtindy]

So after the world cup, dominos came on.

show you domino love?

[kidinthecorner]

AHaha I laughed yesterday when that happened. How is there strategy in dominoes? You draw the things, and place them out there if you can.

[dontgrabtindy]

this is worse than watching the scrabble championships

i love their cheesy bread.

i was just going to make a post about this. Some mexican guy was just describing how dominoes is a sport because your brain must be fit just like an athletes muscles must be fit. Whoever works for ESPN who decided that this would be the next poker should be fired.

I was actually going to watch it the other day but the spent the first 15 minutes showing these guys with jamaican accents and not playing dominos but just talking so I changed the station. I wanted to watch because I don't know how to play dominos and thought it would be interesting to try and learn it.

yea domino's is a sport like backgammon is a sport. i mean, honestly, why would domino's get air time at 5:00 in the evening? why not put at like 3:00am because no one watches it. and the people that do, sit and laugh.

I don't think ESPN cares if people are laughing while they're watching or if they're beating off; ratings are ratings.

i was impressed with the strategy involved. first time i'd ever seen it. surprising.

You draw the things, and place them out there if you can.there is alot of strategy in dominos. i love to play but it really isnt a made for tv event. the game moves too fucking fast and you have no idea what is going on. worst thing to come on tv ever.

[ThriftWhore]

when i saw dominos on espn2, i lost faith in all humanity. it does take strategy, but come on, it's not a tv event.

what's next? the 2006 watching paint dry championships.

I love the Scrabble championship...only because there are actually people in the audience discussing strategy...it's just so absurd it's good

watch how I twist this...

When you said backgammon, I thought I saw Badminton...and it made me want to see badminton played on ESPN...just like ping pong at a pro level, it'd be badass

i fucking love badminton. so much fun. someone should form pro leagues if there isn't one already. I'd totally try to play that.

It is an olympic sport...and like curling, should get massive coverage...

To see it played at a high level is like seeing Tennis on crack...so fast, and then out of nowhere they drop a light shot just over the net...so nasty

[Kram41]

It's better than watching the 1998 World's Strongest Man for the tenth time.

that is awesome. where the fuck is ESPN? Hop on this bandwagon now. It's the next big thing. or at least, it should be.

see...NBC jumps the bandwagons when olympics hit..so summer olympics in 2008 are the time to hop on the badminton bandwagon...maybe if there is some random US Championship before. Either way, if it gets any coverage that I can watch, I'll be happy
