Unfortunately it's pretty grave for her based on the documentary. Her doctors said she won't go into remission, she probably has little time left. Cancer Sucks...

They'd certainly get more viewership from me if they'd put that type stuff back on. Except poker. I just couldn't get there. But one day my wife and I spent like 4 hours one evening watching cornhole.

on the TV, or at the house?

On ESPN. I watched a buttload of axe throwing one night, but the wife wasn't there for that one.

I had World Chase Tag on my season pass for awhile but wherever it was being shown stopped showing it.

Frankly, its impossible to watch live because those are the nerdiest little parkour ****s in the world and they ended up making me want them all to eat jungle gym while they were running around. Imagine if the most obnoxious band-geek ever developed a freakish amount of lateral agility and a tiny bit of quasi-celebrity. That's your average world chase tag guy. Lord they're intolerable.

But when you fast forward through the 50% filler interviews and watch those dudes scramble around and make full speed dives through monkey bars to try to slap some guys foot, it's entertaining as hell. Doubly so when they mis-judge it and make full speed dives INTO monkey bars.

Well, that sucks. I got a different impression from her wiki page:

“ In February 2021, she announced that she had been diagnosed with stage IV terminal ovarian cancer.[1][10] In May 2022 it was reported that her chemo treatments were successful.[11]”

**** cancer.

I've only watched a little bit of it.

There is a pretty high entertainment value due to the short timeframe-caused desperation.

The problem I had and why it got boring is it just takes one decent juke to gain enough space where he can't get to you. There isn't enough space to utilize any reasonable differences in closing speed and it's too slow to go over the top. Like realistically, if the chased doesn't make a mistake he can't be caught unless the dude makes a super human play. It's not particularly entertaining to hope for a mistake.

I never watched enough to get in to the dork of it all. I want no part of interviewing these chuckleheads.

Whatever happened to billiards on TV?

There are some major streaming services just for billiards now.

All major, and most minor tournaments are streamed, and world events like the World Cup and The Masconi Cup are streamed as well.

Sure were. Allison was pretty much unbeatable.
