ESPN8 The Ocho To Be Real for One Day
ESPN8 The Ocho To Be Real for One Day
One of the best jokes from the 2004 film, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, is the fictional offshoot network, ESPN8 “The Ocho” that reports and features the more “odd” sporting endeavors.
Next week, on 8/8, The Ocho will be real, taking the place of ESPNU, and feature ESPN coverage of “The 2016 American Disc Golf Championship” and “…roller derby, trampoline dodgeball, kabaddi and the 2017 Championship of Bags”.
Given all that HBO has done with comedy sports special like Tour De Pharmacy, 7 Days in Hell, and Ferrell Takes the Field, it’s about time ESPN stepped up to the plate to make fun of themselves.
