espn2 - what have you turned into?
This happens to all networks when they try to broaden their appeal and increase viewership. What they really do is alienate the viewers who gave the network a reason for existence. Sometimes I wonder if ESPN even knows it's a sports network (National Spelling Bee championships anyone? I rest my case.)
Oh well, I'll still watch the ice hockey games, but I'll be watching 30 minutes less each day as they axed NHL2NIGHT.

kobyashi is a ****ing machine. 53 goddamned hotdogs? thats ****ing insane.
i remember watching his first appearance at that hotdog eating competition. they only had signs made up to like 25 (for keeping track of who had eaten how many dogs). he blew past that in a few minutes so they started making handmade numbers on paper. its just insane. the other competitors pretty much stopped and just stared at him as he plowed through hotdogs.
sidenote: ESPN 8 "the ocho" almost made me shoot sour patch kids out my nose when i was watching dodgeball.
