New reality show for ESPN, where its an American Idol-type audition to be a sportscenter anchor, with judges (Tony Kornheiser, Lavar Arrington, and the hot girl from "Cold Pizza")... and you can vote online. First impressions: I like the idea, especially since the winner gets a 1 year contract... but I can only take so much of Stuart Scott doing impromptu (he's the host). What'd u guys think?
Stuart Scott has "Jumped The Shark" he's become a cariacture of himself circa 5 years ago.......... I think the chick from Brown will get dumped.
"America cuts Michael Hall" Are you f'ing kidding me? He was the best! America is filled with morons.
OK, America had to think they were voting for the best, not the worst. Like I said, America is filled with morons.
I think so as well.......... ESPN's voting page was down from when the last guy finished his highlights. I think overall, (for what ESPN wants) they got it right.
I hate ESPN. What happened to actually showing highlights. I wish they had a real competitor to stop this bs.
Umm.. I guess you don't wake up before noon, seeing as how they show nothing but highlights on "Sportscener" from 4am - 12pm CST. Not to mention the 5pmCST edition and the 10pmCST edition. I freakin' love this show and hope Aaron goes all the way. Neckless has got to go though. His transition from screaming during highlights to semi-screaming during transitions is plain awful.
I agree...The only thing I can imagine is that people thought they were voting for him, not to cut him... The second best I thought was the Stanford Sr.
I saw this on replay late last night after returning from the Rockets game. The guy that cut was horrible. In fact, they were all horrible, except for the 21 year old from Stanford. 10 year olds on Star Search aren't as nervous as these people were. How hard is it to write a 60 second bit, then memorize it, then say it like you want to say it without screwing up. I can't beleive some of those contestants have professional jobs that undoubtedly require speaking roles at some times in front of clients.
It's harder than you think. Just ask our BBS' own "Alex Vanderpool" about the debacle at the fantasy play by play booth at the NFL Experience. And that was in front of NO audience. Choke city at its finest.
Everybody struggles their first day on the job. It's like skiing. The first day you go you don't even know where to buy your lift ticket or how to put on your skis. They need a chance to get comfortable and lossen up.
Yeah if Sportscenter actually played highlights instead of having talking heads and lame schtick. They even ruined NBA2night/fastbreak.
What was funny was they gave the black guy hockey in his trial, then, for his dream moment, they gave him hockey again. Freakin hilarious. Talk about stickin it to him big time.
