They're Not Booing. They're Yelling "Stuuuu!"
We know this is our job and everything, but we'll admit, we, uh, weren't watching Stuart Scott's little New Years Eve "spectacular" in Times Square over the weekend. Sorry. We've let you down....
"Cold Pizza" Now Seen Even Less
As we watched yet another A-list huge Hollywood star attempt to withstand the blistering interrogation of ESPN2's "Cold Pizza" this morning — in this case, Nick Swardson, "star" of Grandma's Boy — we paused to reflect on "Cold Pizza"'s move yesterday to 10 a.m. The ESPN morning show was moved bac...

Scoop Jackson's Look Back
True Hoop takes on something that we've been kind of eager to sink our teeth into anyway this morning: Scoop Jackson's "Year In Review" column on ESPN Page 2. Jackson has always confused us a bit; his position as Black Columnist at ESPN has, in our opinion, allowed him to get away with continued s...

Know Your Marginal Sports Hosts ...

It's The End Of The Boom Run, And We Don't Feel Fine
As we've written before, though not here, we love the Great Outdoor Games on ESPN: It's pretty much the highlight of baseball's All-Star Weekend for us, definitely more fun than the game. We can never decide which we enjoy more: The fierce rivalry between the Hoeschler sisters in women's log rolli...
