ESPN shows marble races

That's right. This guy, forget where he's from, built this track to race marbles. He's been doing it for years. Made ESPN yesterday.

Wow. The production quality of the marbles video is better than the Roberts video at my ADW.

Chaw spittin' on tonight at 8!

Sunday nights, next 3 weeks, ESPN showing reruns of several Wrestlemania Pay per Views, supposedly in entirety.

Interesting to see with innovations people will come up with.

This is truly shocking as I've believed that ESPN lost their marbles when they named Katon Jenner Athlete of the Year.

When I was a kid we made a track with a long 2 x 6. Nailed rails on either side with whatever we had around. We used the big marbles and put a piece of 1 x 4 under it at one end...and that was it.
We enjoyed it for about a month and it got tossed to the side of the garage lol.

I think in future years when there is a "real" WrestleMania it will air live on ESPN or FOX. They tried to work out a deal for this year but obviously the timing isn't right, but showing the old ones is the first step to that.

Diecast racing is pretty cool.

Madden 2020 tournament. They could simulate an entire season, and do it live. Actually watch the games play out. I'd watch some of that.
