So the Twins are playing in Montreal this week.  That means if I watch baseball, the games end quickly.  (Of course when they play on the West Coast, I enjoy the late night ballgames.)

Since the Twins game ended early, my wife was flipping through the channels at an earlier time than usual.  We came upon a show on the Game Show Network called "Extreme Dodgeball."

Did anyone out there see it?

In the "Extreme Dodgeball" league, there are 7 or 8 teams.  The composition of the five-member teams (as well as their names) is pretty interesting.  It kept my attention for the half-hour that it was on television.

The Certified Public Assassins- a team of "nerds."  Currently in first-place in the "league."

The Curves of Steel- four aerobics ladies and a muscleman.

The Barbell Mafia- muscleheads

The Silent-But-Deadly Mimes- mimes

Armed Response- security guards

Sumo Storm- an all-fat team

The Stallion Batallion- a team of jockeys

The point of the show is to pit these teams together in a game of dodgeball.  It is slightly amusing, and the characters and announcers are funny.  It reminds me a lot of roller derby, except the contestants don't have as much of that pro-wrestling type animosity toward each other.

I suppose the show was interesting enough to tune in again if there's nothing else on.  I might find myself tuning into the Game Show Network to catch a replay of the William Hung version of Queen's "We are the Champions."  (I liked William in the Freddie Mercury costume holding a Freddy-esque microphone stand.  Funny.)
