End of the Boo-yah Era at ESPN

sorry, but this is just too darn funny. and these are just a few of the highlights. My eyes are tearing up reading this, I'm laughing so hard. Everyone at ESPN must cringe when his chats are happening. As this is clearly edited heavily (none of the Whitlock stuff is left):


Mark (NY): Scoop, while covering the Open, did you get a chance to stop and see the most dominating team in the NL, the NY Mets?
Scoop Jackson: Yes. went to Sunday's game against the Dodgers b/f the men's final. Watched them get beat down 9-1. But I rep'd. Had my Pedro jersey on.

Tom (Dictionary): "Intrigal" is not a word. You meant "integral".
Scoop Jackson: you all gotta understand, I Can't Type!!!

Billy Bob (Kansas): It's me again. You are so dumb - Ed Reed won DOY in 2004. Oh, and you're also an idiot.
Scoop Jackson: Thanks. I did forget. Idiot, true.

Joe (CA): Scoop, not to break your chops but isn't a journalist who can't type like a teacher who can't read?!
Scoop Jackson: it depends. See typing on a chat is different than typing a story. there is no spell check and you can't really look back on what u type b/c you're trying to answer as many questiona as possible in an hour. so when i say i can't type i mean under the chat rules. typos are going to be regular.

 

that's funny stuff. it makes him seem a little less of an asshole not to get all defensive like certain "reporters" do on online chats.

 

Also makes him look dumber than shit.

 

I believe Fred Hickman and Daryn Kagan hosted the last version of Sports Tonight.

Vince Cellini's 2 a.m. call-in show was cancelled long before 9/11. Probably five years beforehand.

 

Mr. Hankey appreciates being considered smarter than Scoop.
