Well, I thought that was boring, until the other day when I saw DOMINOS on tv. No, not the pizza place, but the game. They had a domino tournie on ESPN. I was sucked in, I had to watch it, I could not resist. I guess the creators of dodgeball weren’t too far off in mocking ESPN.

So there I was, watching old, fat, bald, guys playing dominos 

Then it happened. The most ridiculous thing EVER!

SLOW MOTION INSTANT REPLY! 

Yes, you heard me. Slo-mo instant replay of a guy playing a domino, then raising his arms in victory! It was riveting I tell you. The dexterity in which he plucked his final domino from the tray, the fluidity with which he turned it to match the previously played domino and the confidence in placing it just so. There is nothing, I repeat NOTHING more dramatic than watching a man play a domino in slow motion.

I play and have played many sports; soccer, baseball, softball, paintball, hockey, mountain biking, snowboarding…. and so on. But I’ve met my match. I’ve never been on TV for my mountain biking skills, or my body boarding prowess not even for the several one timer shots I’ve had in hockey. Heck, the only time I’ve been in the paper is in the police blotter section. But these retired, out of shape, one pastrami and bratwurst sandwich away from heartfailure, guys are on ESPN with slo-mo replays for laying down a silly little ceramic, black dotted tile.
