Who says I don't watch ESPN?


Ok, I admit that I know nothing about sports. I don't know the differnce between pool and snooker; I cannot tell rugby from rugby union (let alone the million other deviations that I THINK exit) and I plainly don't understand why cricket is even played.

But nothing prepared me for when I accidentally tuned to ESPN and saw 2 guys running on floating logs.

That is a sport?!!!!

(apparently so)

Seriously, a sport with a name?!!!

(Men's Boom Run)

People are serious about this?!!!

(Well, everybody 'cept me, it seems. To quote ESPN: 'To say that nimble, nifty footwork is a prerequisite would be a gross understatement...boom runners have to match their unique athleticism with great fearlessness, for there are only two things a boom runner can hit if they have a misstep — the water or a log')

I believe I finally found a sport I understand.
