Bo Oshoniyi on ESPN tonight

They obviously are trying to get me to watch. I was part of an ESPN focus group on the show. They asked me to watch it and record my thoughts. I didn't watch the show and told them that if I want reality programming, I watch sports. Of course, all the demographic info I submitted told them I was a soccer fanatic.

Won't work. I hope this show dies as quick a death as Jay Mohr.

Sachin

 

You are lame, Sachin. You really let Bo down.

 

I tuned in just in time to catch the contestants debating on whether or not to skip their mission on singing the national anthem b4 the Wiz match.

Why is ESPN determined to imitate MTV?

 

You know, for some reason, I really like the show. I saw the first one and I was hooked. I actually HATE "reality programming", and I'm with Sachin - I get enough reality in my life as it is, and if I want more, I watch sports.

But for some reason, maybe becasue this show is a suspension of reality (come on, how many people would really get a chance to do one of those tasks, let alone ten, without being able to say this is part of an ESPN game), I dig the show. I really also like seeing a different side of some of the athletes. And I like getting views/impressions of the country from a "sports road trip" perspective.

And last week (or two weeks ago) the team that is behind hung out at a house party with the WUSA's Carolina Courage and got to take a picture with Carla Overbeck (I think) and her gold medal. So this won't be the first soccer related encounter for the teams.

 

Here, here! My life is all the reality I can stand.

I guess I'll have to give the show a shot.

 

This was great PR for MLS showing how the league will go the extra mile for people by having a player come in on his off day and also giving the team of four players free shirts.

 

yea, sad to admit it but i was hooked by this show too...

probably b/c it is a chance for these people to beg their way in to the sports world in order to complete tasks and i think it would be fun to be in their position...but here is my question...

these 8 people were picked to appear on a espn reality show and only one has any athletic skill at all and that is the female that went to michigan state...the rest are hardly athletic; did you see them kick a soccer ball? or try and shoot baskets with an nba player? good god, it was a sad commentary on the athletic prowless of fellow americans...

 

Out of curiosity, what was the outcome of the "shootout?"

 

I'd tell you, but I don't want to be carded because there's no (R) in the title....

 

it was bo oshoniyi in goal for god's sake, do you have to even ask?

 

That's exactly why I have to.

 

That guy Bubba from the south scored on him.

I think that show is Hilarious. The funniest thing was watching Jason Seahorn driving them around Manhattan. Then there's that cheerleader girl that goes around crying all the time because her team sucks. It's too funny.
