I am watching FOX Sports at the moment, they are televising POKER.

Haha, somehow I imagined that you would talk about poker when I read the thread title.

I watch this stuff whenever I can catch it, but yea, it can hardly be called a sport.

This poker is now in my weekly 'must watch' programmes. 2 of the guys in the final made it through from being 'online champions'.

poker and darts are pretty lame... but hey, at least they're better than baseball

well technically a 'sport' is anything you compete in right.... eh....

grr now baseball is awesome..... hmm what was i going to do? oh yea...

well.... definition one says physical activities governed by rules.... but by definition two.... it can just be any recreation.... heck being lazy could be a sport then... dang that's one sport i wanna try

on the other hand.... the texas hold-em tourney of champions is a great show to watch....
