Sports Programming at 4:00 AM

After reading some recent emails, I've learned that my readers want to see change. Amongst the most popular requests are:
  1. less pictures of me

  2. more pictures of hot women

  3. more variety in sports coverage

  4. more pictures of hot women

Well, you all will be glad to know that items 2 and 4 will be covered in good time. We got a few things cooking. I'll devote today's post to request # 3 - more variety in sports coverage.

After 10 minutes of that insanity, I clicked around to find other mind numbing ideas that ESPN dreamt up. Then I found the motherload.

The ESPN2 Little People Olympics
Wow! Billed as the finest display of world class athletes under four feet tall. This, I got to see. Some of the events:

Midget Basketball

#14 looking curiously like Steve Nash

Midget Boxing

Midget Jumbo Jet Pulling

It takes about 400 little people to pull a Boeing 747


Midget Hurling



World record holder "Captain Shrimpy"

Midget Streaking

this event is banned in over 12 states

Half time performers "Lil Bump and Grind"
Mini Kiss plays National Anthem and "Detroit Dwarf City"

I don't think the winners earned any prize money. I did hear that the finalists got the complete Lord of the Rings box set, as well as other low budget prizes.
