I'm trying to determine if the most amazing part of that clip is either the poor play-by-play guy having to sell the "wire to wire drama", or the fact that there's a crowd paying rapt attention

I watched 5 minutes of a Cornhole tournament today and I was cracking up at the announcers describing the majestic shots from the beer bellied middle aged dude. It was like a sketch comedy skit.

RC and Moon Pie posted:I know a couple whose son is really into it. The son is on of the top-ranked teams in the southeast, whatever that means. Funny enough, the only time I've ever seen people play spikeball is at ultimate frisbee tournaments. It's basically four-square with a net and smaller ball. I don't see how it can be national sport because it only really looks fun in a backyard or beach environment.

She was the one that during the protests after Trump implemented the Muslim immigration ban or whatever, she posted to Instagram complaining that she had to drag her luggage 2 miles and her flight was delayed or something. At the end of her rant she said something like "Yes, I realize immigrants were affected too but they're not the only ones."

Agreed, I would imagine this is just Comcast pushing to get the BTN to lower their fees. Still funny though since the Big 10 brought on two lovely football teams to get markets that they don't have anymore.

Nebraska isn't on that list of in-market states either, which makes it every expansion team the Big Ten added.

Man there is zero chance that is even remotely critical , even with the understanding that "he was secretly suspended for gambling" would just be inviting a libel suit. That's hardly the only unseemly thing.
