I'm betting on Yahtzee being telecast soon...and not the Peter Marshall version.. (it's on topic because the former producer of 2-Minute Drill and the Identity producer are running this...)

But it's not a game show...so it's a big stretch.

It's not a sport, either, but apparently somebody paid ESPN enough money for a time buy....

I think GSN aired this last year as part of "Games Across America."

/GSN is now airing cat shows! Who knew?

The shelf life of the Arm Wrestling Championships must've expired. And the Scrabble tournaments. And the dominoes tournaments.

I'd like ESPN2 to show Magic: The Gathering tournies again just for novelty's sake and because I'm a gigantic nerd.

Well, either is poker...ESPN is and never was designated as a "sports only" network.

I understand the point...but rock-paper-scissors? That's pushin' it.

The Rock-Paper-Scissors has been a running feature in the World Series of Poker broadcasts..Phil Gordon started a lot of the prop bet tournaments, like the 2004 "Blind Man's Bluff" tournament. I agree it a stretch to air an entire program to it, but as an occasional special, I can live it rather than reairing than another airing of kids playing Madden Football or the "And 1" mixtape tour.
