"not a sport" says a guy who covers golf. Guess he would know what's not a sport.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL.

 

Thanks.

 

I did a column a ways back .. intended to be humorous, but it pissed off quite a few people back in the day. My definition of a sport was as follows: "If you can drink, smoke, or both while playing it ... it's not a sport."

Of course, that eliminated bowling, golf, pool and darts. I heard from those folks...

They were almost as funny as the people in Texas who wanted us to cover Little Miss Kickball the same way we covered Little League.

 

8 p.m. Central.


A truly impressive AND dominating performance as well ... not only during the TV show, but all week in qualifying and match play. She was pure nails in the title match against Chris Barnes. Worth checking out the replay.

 

So the NHL is not a sport?

 

Okay let's revise that a bit.

If it's on ESPN, it's a sport. However, other sports not on ESPN are also sports. One example of this is hockey.

 

ESPN doesn't pay quite as much attention to it since it's no longer on ESPN, though?

 

Fishhack fails. Soccer is on ESPN. Therefore, not everything ESPN televises is a sport.

 

Does ESPN pay any attention to hockey? On the air, I mean?

 

And I agree with this post:

Absolutely.

 

That's no doubt true. I don't think there's a "Hockey Tonight" show on the schedule anywhere these days. Hockey talk seems pretty scattershot.

But apparently the WWL thinks it still carries hockey. From Barry Melrose's page:

Former NHL player and coach Barry Melrose is a studio analyst for NHL telecasts on ESPN and ESPN2. During the Stanley Cup Finals, he provides pre-game, post-game and intermission analysis. Melrose appears regularly on ESPN2's NHL 2Night.

Fail.

 

Oh, be quiet...
