Really, youre not missing much on ESPN2. Thats the channel that shows Magic the Gathering tournaments. At that it's better than the regional Fox Sports Net. On my way home from Comicon at a hotel, I saw-get this- competitive yo-yo. And someone actually got hurt in competitive yo-yo. Can you believe that some of them cost upwards of $200?! Can you believe I kept the channel on long enough to learn that?!

Wow, that's way more sports fans than I had assumed! Mental note: schedule a week of Mets jokes.

Meanwhile, did anybody see the ads? Were they any good?
