    I'm sure you've seen those commercials advertising ESPN as "The new home for the NBA" featuring ESPN personalities and NBA players living in a big house and going through their daily lives. I thought up one featuring Steve and Cuttino. It's a little immature, but I think it's funny. I hope nobody looks too much into it. :)

    Interior: We find Rockets guards Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley sitting in a dark room watching TV. We can't see what they are actually watching, just the glow from the TV set. We can also hear some rather sensual music eminating from the television, suggesting they might be watching something provocative. We hear Steve and Cuttino talking at a low volume.

    Steve: Oh man, this is some great stuff
    Cuttino: Yeah, this is so cool.
    Steve: Whoa! Did you see that?
    Cuttino: All I can say is, "wow"
    Steve: Oh yeah....ooooh, baby...

    Cut to the bedroom door, where Stuart Scott opens the door

    Stuart: Hey guys, you need to--

    Steve and Cuttino fumble with the remote control very hastily, not wanting Stuart to see what they were watching.

    Steve: HEY, Stu! What's up?
    Stuart: (looking at Steve and Cuttino suspiciously) Hey, guys.....Whatcha watching?

    Cut to TV, where we see a ballroom dancing competition.

    Cuttino: Oh! Uhhh, we're just watching some....ballroom dancing!
    Stuart: Ballroom dancing, huh? I didn't know you liked that kind of stuff.
    Steve: Yeah, man. We watch this stuff all the time.
    Stuart: Ummm...OK...Can you help me bring the groceries in?Cuttino: Sure thing!

    Stuart walks out of the room.

    Steve: WHEW! That was close, man!
    Cuttino: You're telling me...

    Steve and Cuttino run out of the bedroom as the camera fades...

    The thing is that ESPN will never pick any Rockets for commercials. :(

    I'd rather not see Stuart Scott in anything having to do with the Rockets.

    A-Train that'd fit right in with what they're doing in that series. It's pretty funny stuff but the league would frown on the p*rn part. :D
    The one part you HAVE to change though is Stuart Scott. That guy has to be the most annoying,unprofessional,and absolute worst excuse for a sportscaster anywhere! The funnier he tries(and fails)to be and the cooler he tries to be by 'street talkin',the stupider he comes off. Who does this guy 'know' that allows him to keep the job or got him the job in the first place?:mad:

    I don't know...you can replace Stu with pretty much any ESPN personality. He's just the first person that popped into my head. I guess you can have Jack Ramsey walk in and start drooling on the carpet or something. Stuart Scott used to be the "token black guy" on Sportscenter, there just to get a few extra black viewers. With Kevin Frazier on board, though, I think Stu is expendable. I really don't have a problem with him, because I know it's just an act he puts on. My bet is that the producers tell him to mix in the street lingo...

    Oh, and who said that Steve and Cuttino were watching p*rn. ;)

    For that matter it would work if you replace p*rn with a cheesey soap opera

    Seriously A-Train,you ought to send that one in to them. Look what happened with Chance and the Yao Ming Song. Next thing you know we'll be watching Steve and Cat on the commercial and we'll be saying,"I know where that came from. I know that guy." Just like we all know Chance now that the chant will be raining down from the rafters. Don't miss out on your 15 minutes,send it in.

    Stu is cool(why yall trippin?), the implied porno is cool (maybe we discover that it's the animal planet or something), and the idea IS funny.

    I like the characters, but the plot is sub par. Well below the equator, not creative, lacks anything clever, just not funny. Sorry A-Train, but that is my opinion.

    There are 2 diff Yao ads from ESPN Mag. One of them, is where he's sleeping the top bunk of a bunkbed, with MIKE TIRICO (not Scott) at the bottom.

    The other one has Yao sitting on the top bunk... nothing much to it.
