Lastly, Stooge's poetry is his SportsCenter gift to his bruthuz, just as, back in the ol' days, those segments of Berman on-stage jammin' with Huey Lewis & The News was his gift to white guys with no rhythm ...

Can't we settle this once and for all by having the SportsCenter crew pull its usual 5-minute time-killer wherein the guys remove their sportcoats and have an in-studio walk-through? On tap today: The fellas, in their slacks and dress shirts will re-enact the day when Stooge Scott was struck in the face by the football shootin' outta the Jugs machine at Jets practice. Such a presentation would help create "an understanding" ...

Roy Keane + Foosteps Falco = Best Deadspin thread in weeks. Not since the cyberlynching of Tal4Prezz has the comments section seen gold like this. The resurrection of the Berman line along with Stuart Scott bashing, all couched in literary references? We are all winners today, my friends.

There are many things wrong with Sportscenter, but watching Stu and his fucked-up-Charlie-Manson-eyes recite his own slam poetry is by far, BY FAR, the worst thing about it. I guess one can only hope to get hit in the head by a Frandsen BP pitch and forget it ever happened.

So Tony calling the queen a "babe" is an issue but the fact that the commentators at ESPN have become so establish that they can say whatever they want is not an issue? I'm a big fan of George Solomon but what he is actually doing? He's become the Tony K of ESPN. Every once in a while he writes a short piece with no point!

"We all have that role. People do it in different ways, expressing their own personalities. My personality is my personality, as Neil Everett has his own personality and Chris Berman has his own personality. None of us fakes it." Thats pretty funny since Neil Everett's real last name is Morfitt and he uses the most blatant phoney announcer voice in the history of ESPN, and that's saying something. As we all know, Berman uses his trademark Bermanisms throughout his daily life. Something about leather comes to mind...

SlickBomb — Thu, 04 May 2006 12:45:57 EDT

I dislike Stuart Scott intensely. I'm not a hateful person, but gosh darnit, he is frustrating. Reading poetry is an "African American thing?" I guess Homer and Robert Frost are brotha's then. Is a poetry slam "acting black?" The statement is ignorant in and of itself. Scott lives in Greenwich, CT, which is about a traditionally black at Norway. This guy is the ESPN equivalent of Carlton Banks.
