Stuart Scott got the David Blaine stunt confused with 24, which he was watching with his other eye.

I would watch if the roles were reversed. I wanna see Blaine describing Stuey hold his breath. That would be cool.

You're with me, Run-on Sentence. Seriously, that first paragraph needs some editorial help.

He didn't make the 9 minutes or die trying...bummer. Thankfully we'll always have this moment of real magic from David Blaine...making this guy's show somewhat entertaining. http://youtube.com/watch?v=IXW4YirZpzc&search=david%20blai...

Watching last night, I had a revelation - Stuart Scott would be the perfect morning show host. He has just the right combination of utter vapidity, forced hipness, and total insincerity, plus the requisite overall whiteness. He's like Katie Couric and Al Roker rolled into one. Get this man on the Today Show so that he can cook meatballs with Rocco Dispirito immediately.

David Blaine will be performing his next stunt as an opening act at the Gothic Castle.

The fact that there were "Thousands" of people on hand at Lincoln Center to watch this "event" proves two things: 1. Country-fried rubes still flock to NYC in droves (see Today show) 2. The collective IQ of this nation continues to plummet. Now, where do I tune in to see the bearded lady and the pinheads?

We'd pay fifty dollars to watch Chris Berman attempt to escape from a tight sweatshirt...only because we know he'd fail, and we'd avoid seeing the manboobs that have graced countless b-grade groupie chests.

Tony Wonder is amazing. I remember when he started out as a little "w" and then somehow he became a big one. I don't even know how it happened.

When you go to the TV and you're watching David Blaine hold his breath as hard as he can, stop booing, OK? There's no point in booing David Blaine. He's worked hard. He's trained hard, and let's see you get out there and do it, all right?

Blaine definitely is not a favorite of mine... I am more of a Tony Wonder fan myself... but it seems easy to hate David Blaine, he did something that I never could, so for that I respect him. That being said, I was downright gleeful when I tuned in to the last bit and saw Stu Scott 'kickin' the play by play. I hoped Deadspin would deliver, you didn't disappoint.

Right on Steve Dave (cousin of Ricky Bobby?). Even my girlfriend called out ol' Dead Eye Scott on a few occassions. Our favorite quote: "David is both conserving energy...and trying to burn it. It's a delicate balance." Thank you, master of the obvious. $*$*%*%(#

Stu Scott licks the sweat off a dog's ballz. David Blaine polishes them up after he is done.

I had the night off, for once. I looked at the clock and thought, "Hey, the David Blaine thing is on." Then I played some poker online.

Planet B — Tue, 09 May 2006 10:05:58 EDT

I was actually stuck watching this at the laundromat. After Stu mentioned that Blaine could get brain damage from the stunt (not magic or an illusion, a stunt) and then they showed filmed piece with Blaine, I thought the guy was already brain-damaged. I, for one, was pretty disappointed when I checked google news at 10:15ET and found out the dude hadn't died. I guess that means there will be more of these in the future.

The D — Tue, 09 May 2006 09:48:33 EDT

I think if anyone watched the entire two hours, they have serious problems. But, like SlickBomb, I was watching a sensitive Jack Bauer last night. But even that didn't stop me from tunning into the last 7 minutes of the Blaine thing, just to watch him die. BTW, it's not possible to have an actual seizure and get up and walk around not 3 minutes later. What a joke....

Foosteps Falco — Tue, 09 May 2006 09:48:14 EDT

Stu probably did the gig just so he could get a years' worth of catch phrases out of it. I have no idea what they will be since I have avoided the watching the guy for years but I'm sure they will include the name "Bron Bron."

I was running on a treadmill while this show was on TV at the gym, so although I watched alot of it, I did not contribute to its viewership statistics. I'd love to see Stuart Scott in a big bubble of water or buried alive in Egypt. Come on Stu, you can do it! The kid has mad flava. Holla at a playa yo. In all seriousness, watching Stu on T.V. sometimes makes me want to pull a David Blaine stunt, with the only differences being that it wouldn't be televised and I would be praying for a quick and painless death.

Gasface — Tue, 09 May 2006 09:40:44 EDT

Yeah, I feel like I saw some show on Discovery Channel (or something like that) once where people were holding their breath for way longer than nine minutes. Despite all his impressive feats and tricks, the fact remins inescapable that David Blaine is a dousche of the highest order.

SlickBomb — Tue, 09 May 2006 09:40:37 EDT

In the spirit of yesterday's outstanding Boomer Slash Poetry thread, I think someone should write a Stu-Scott inspired work about Blane's stunt and the word "Boo-yah." BTW I wouldn't watch this crap because I'm too busy watching Jack Bauer scream at people and kick terrorist ass.

Badclown — Tue, 09 May 2006 09:38:27 EDT

I watched because I thought they were going to seal the tank off and open up after nine minutes whether he was still holding his breath or had transformed into a lifeless bloated corpse. When those divers jumped in at 7 minutes I was pissed. But it was worth watching just to hear Stuart Scott talk about the unconditional love the crowd had for Blaine, even though he failed in a Geraldoesque manner. Is it me or his Stu getting whiter by the day?

Juancho — Tue, 09 May 2006 09:35:55 EDT

I actually like David Blaine's magic, but not these ludicrous "feats of strength". Even if Blaine had held his breath for the mark, it wouldn't have been "official". Quoth Wikipedia: Even if Blaine had succeeded in holding his breath for more than eight minutes and fifty-eight seconds, the feat would not have been officially recognized as a new world record. This is due to the fact that judges from the International Association for the Development of Apnea (IADA) would have had to be present to verify that Blaine breathed no pure oxygen for at least two hours prior to beginning his attempt at the world record. The world record for holding one's breath after having breathed pure oxygen is actually closer to fifteen minutes.[4] So this was even more pointless than you thought. And if you want to hate him even more, consider that he has had intimate relations with Josie Maran.

Steve Dave — Tue, 09 May 2006 09:35:09 EDT

I have to believe that my story is not a unique one. My wife is not as, let's say, familiar with Stu as I am. Oh, she knows he is, just like I know who the fat little Dixie Chick is. That is, she recognizes him when she sees him. Anyhoo, she was absolutely aghast last night at Stu. "What did he just say?" What does that even mean?" Why is HE doing this?" "Is he always this stupid?" "Why hasn't he been fired?" Yup. Stuart Scott. That's just how he rolls.
