    The moment I understood Stuart Scott was the first time I saw Stump the Schwab (which I liked). I believe he is, in the deepest and truest levels of his soul, a game show host.

    +10.

    STS has ALWAYS been Stuey's shining moment at the WWL.

    Nobody does it better.

    I actually worked from home today. Turned ESPN on just for the hell of it. Caught Mike and Mike in the morning, which is fine on its own, but it was the same recycled garbage from Sportscenter. And then First and 10 came on. Which was the same as the previous two. So essentially it was all crap.

    The only thing I can watch is Gameday, Live Sports, and well, not even PTI anymore, because its the same as the morning shows + Around the Horon and everything else.

    First and 10 remains Cold Pizza, by any other name . . .

    That's true. But oral histories are a lightning-fast read.

    Its shark-jumping date depends on how old you are.

    To those in their 30s, 5-6 years ago.

    To a 50-year-old like me, it was the first time I heard "Booyah!"

    Olbermann worked in Bristol, CT and didn't drive? WTF?

    He can't drive. He banged his head on a subway car and he has depth perception problems. I'm not making that up.

    Had no idea. I figured it was just a result of being a New Yorker who never got around to learning.

    Weird. He must have really hated Bristol.

    In Manhattan it wouldn't be a big deal at all. How the hell did he do it in Bristol?

    Oh they're not going to release the best stuff for free. Just enough to entice people. Some stories (to us) will be familiar. But not to the general public, especially the stuff on guys like Olbermann and Patrick.

    Yup. I knew this as far back as his KTLA days in L.A. He was so funny on his sportscasts that you could tell the great Hal Fishman was trying very hard not to laugh -- and if you watched Fishman/News at 10, you know he rarely laughed. That was a great broadcast back in the day.

    How the hell did he get around LA without a car?
