ESPN Weekend

Is ESPN about to become interesting for the first time since the 90's? Maybe this weekend:

Got plans this weekend? Odds are you don't -- most Americans are staying home -- but no worries. ESPN has plenty of action to keep you entertained.

The sports network is bringing back "ESPN8: The Ocho" this Saturday with a promised 11 hours of rarely seen action.

 

Inspired by the movie "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story," which introduced the idea of a channel packed full of weird sports that typically don't get broadcast on television, ESPN8 will air a mix of marble racing, robot righting and cherry pit spitting beginning at high noon. 

Yeah this sounds weird but one thing I've picked up from loving British sitcoms is that apparently one of the biggest shows of all time was one showing people plying darts, so.
