This is so stupid, why do they cover this on ESPN. I think OLN even has a show called the Tour de Gorge.

Hey… I ate two grilled polish sausages for lunch today and I still consider myself an athlete (even if I don’t feel like one).
Why do they cover it? Hell if I know. But 99% of what is on ESPN has nothing to do with the abilities of a human bodys limitations, rather that of a learned skill - fishing, hunting, bowling, pool, darts, poker (?), and on and on and on…NASCAR…sport…huh…
Thats it I’m getting off the bike and putting on the bib!

If eating lots of meat filled, cylindrical objects makes you an athlete then most porn stars are athletes. Come to think of it maybe they are. Physical excursion, sweating, grunting, pacing, I guess they would qualify under the average joes definition. So when is ESPN going to start showing Debbie does Dallas or Deep Throat?

I pointed out that bizarre bit of programming to my wife when I noticed it in the TV schedule. You’d think with all the “real” sports footage available, that ESPN wouldn’t hafta stoop to this sorta garbage. I guess pie eating contests are next? How about water balloon tossing? Greased watermelon in the pool? Sack races? 3-legged races?
