ESPN's Latest Attempt At Capturing The Millennial Market: Competitive Spikeball
7:30 last night was an awkward time on TV. Warriors-Pelicans had ended, so had Bruins-Lightning. The next notable sporting event started at 8:00 PM, so I started channel surfing and stumbled upon ESPN’s latest revolutionary programming:
Spikeball, a game many are calling” the game of the future” and “the fastest growing sport in America,” was on ESPN 2 last night from Lancaster, PA:

If Dana & Blind Mike can’t compete, I’m sure Dave wouldn’t mind jumping in #NoExcuses:
