Does anyone else love watching this???
The first time I saw it was on my honeymoon in Antigua. We were watching it in the bar. Husband has been a fan forever. I love it. We watched the 07 last night.
GO Poland!!!! :)

    Because we were sitting in an airconditioned bar, having an afternoon snack and watching ESPN on the tv? My husband was considerate enough to take his pregnant wife out of the heat and sit her down for a while in the cool air.

    And yes, they carry around safes and cars and all sorts of crazy stuff. It is awesome.

    can't say i've ever understood the need to pull a plane using just my earlobes.. but whatever floats your boat... probably steroid flavoured urine actually
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I think I used to watch that as a kid with my dad. That and the lumberjack competition where they had to saw down trees as quickly as possible. Didn't know it was still on tv.

    Yeah that's right! Didn't they have to run with the pole first and then flip it over?!? I think top prize was a years supply of flannel shirts and borax hand soap.

    Yes! They did! I miss that show. I am sure it is still around, but not televised.
    Have you ever seen that crazy Asian show where they have to perform all kinds of crazy stunts? lol Like run over a lake of lillypads or something.

    Yes, Meredith, I did. Sorry to disappoint you. :)

    Yes I've seen that once or twice. They're ducking foam poles and landing in dirty water. That show is hilarious! I think I've only seen it at like two in the morning, so I don't know when I'll see it again.

    I thought Scottish "sport" involved men in kilts with no underwear wrestling with each other in a muddy field while the women tended to the sheep.

    Dude what you and your Scottish comrades do behind closed doors and label as "tossing the caber" is between you and your ever strengthening wrists! ;)

    The fake commentary is what really makes that show. ESPN really has too many channels and finds some funky shiznit to fill in the time.
