Greatest "sporting event" you've ever seen on ESPN2.

[Beware the Beast Man]

I love that limbo stage in the sports broadcasting schedule, when ESPN2 will pretty much broadcast anything. My personal favorites were the National Scrabble Championship and the Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee. Anyone here a fan of ping-pong or jai-alai or competitive eating?

3. The dog sports shows..

I turn-on ESPN2 every Sunday morning around 3AM and let Jake (my Akita) climb onto the bed to watch them while I'm on the computer. He usually watches "American Gun Dog," "Doggone It!", and the "Dock Dog Competition."

That's his must-see TV.. :)

It was truly high sports drama.

6. Canadian Football and Aussie Rugby(back in the day)

I LOVED ESPN2 back in the day when it first started out. They were a hip and cool version of ESPN that covered "Alternative" and foreign sports.

8. I love Australian Rules Football.

The sports channel that eventually became Fox Sports in Western PA showed it every summer.

13. I think that was after ESPN dropped the program.

He made mention in his book about how WCCW fell on hard times after he joined.
