I fail to see how scrabble is more profitable than paintball. so that's a slap in the face, right?

Look, Shartley, Im not some pimple poppin 13 yr. old who just bought his first spyder the other day. I do know a little about what makes the world go around. I realize ESPN must be making SOME money off scrabble. You telling me i need to grow some thicker skin is kind of an oxymoron anyway. Heck, I dont own a business in the paintball industry, so i guess that means i cant feel slighted when i see scrabble on ESPN instead of paintball.

How do you come to that conclusion? What is that some sort of old chinese proverb? " I own therefore i am, i play therefore i am not" Truly inspiring. Youre looking at this all wrong. Im not saying that since I play it I want the whole worlds attention. Im saying since I and millions of others enjoy the sport there must be a way to see it on TV, more so than scrabble surely. How is that a problem? Anyways, i guess i better go start a business so i can BE paintball.

You're taking the slap to the face thing too literally. I am merely trying to portray my disappointment with ESPN. Dont worry noone was harmed in the making of this thread. We don't need shartley to come to the rescue. The thing about OLN is not everyone gets it. More people get ESPN. Concerning your affiliation with all of those activities why dont you do all of us a favor and stick with those and leave paintball to the rest of us. Excuse me if i get a little wound up when i see you prowling AO with your mildly argumentative yet still politically correct posts. LOL

Back in the mid 90's I caught something on ESPN hat shocked me even more than Scrabble...

They were airing the grocery bagging chanpionships. First off, who the hell even thinks up this stuff and then who the hell would think to air it on TV. Now, I do have to say, I watched it and it was interesting and funny as hell, but I do not think bagging groceries is a game or a sport

So for all your grocery baggers out there...don't worry, there is hope for you yet. Just keep it up and you too could be crowned the World Champion Bagger
