    This has to be the most bizarre sport I've seen. It's called extreme ironing, and the idea is to iron clothes in extreme conditions.

    This sports is called cheese rolling. A big block of cheese is rolled down a hill, and you have to keep up with it and not let it pass you.

    I think the cheese rolling was a yearly story on ESPN as far back as the Dan Patrick/Keith Olbermann days, or maybe it was the Kenny Mayne/Stewart Scott days.

    I remember staying up late at night in the early days of ESPN and watching roller derby, lumberjack competitions, strongman competitions, little go-carts with big wing looking things on them going around a tiny, tiny circular dirt track, all kinds of crazy stuff... man, early ESPN and weird sports definitely went hand in hand. I think the "popularity" of curling and hot dog eating competitions definitely owe a big thank you to the wee morning hours of filler sports programming of the 80s.

    It's like almost any activity can be classified as a sport? It's a stretch.

    In grade school PE we used to call that soccer, the PE teacher would throw down a soccer ball and
    shins got kicked a lot more than the ball did.
