Darts

With whatever cable package I currently have, I get the NBC Sports Network and really late at night, they have been showing the European Darts Championship.  And I have to tell you guys, it is hilariously entertaining to watch and here is why:

• These guys are really good at darts.  They play 501 (for those who don't know, that's where you start with 501 points and have to get to 0 before the other guy, but you have to finish a game by hitting one of the double targets for a number, for example, if you have 10 points left, you have to finish by hitting double 5) and I saw a guy who could have finished a game by going T20, T20, D20 (which is tough but not as tough as) instead he went T20, D20, Double Bulls-eye.
• When they are announced to the crowd (we will get to them in a minute), they come out with two incredible hot chicks on their arms even though the player is most likely an overweight guy in his mid-40's.
• The spectators (and there is a surprisingly large amount of them) sit at these long picnic-style tables and just get bombed the whole time.  And I mean really bombed.
• The English are really good at darts.  Of the final eight players in the tournament I was watching, seven of them were from England.
• You can make a surprising amount of money from playing darts.  Last year's top earning player was Phil Taylor, who won close to one million dollars ($938,497).
• Lastly, the players drink throughout the whole thing.

"Boob-ya!"
