It's hard to watch ESPN this morning. You can tell everyone is hurt. While I found his constant use of catchphrases a little much, dude was good.

Yeah, it's definitely a rough going this morning for all of them, trying to deal with the loss, but still having to put on their shows. He was damn good though. I completely forgot about the classic pairings of Stuart Scott with Rich Eisen and Dan Patrick, how many, many years ago those days were. Those were the glory days of Sportscenter. I'd stay up late just to watch them each night.
He did go overboard sometimes with the catchphrases, the animated reactions, the sort of over the top presentations. But he made it fun and entertaining and kept you interested. He was a rare charm. While there are still numerous good personalities at ESPN, there was just something about Stuart Scott that set up apart and above the rest.
I definitely teared up watching the obit on SportsCenter last night. Listening to SVP and Rusillo now hearing more thoughts from SVP and some athletes.

Nailed it
I saw that on Facebook earlier. That was damn good by Rich. Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders however needed to shut the hell up once they realized what he was doing. Them constantly trying to say the lines along with Rich and still throwing in various comments while he was doing them sort of dragged it down a peg. It was still great, but could have been even better if Rich was able to be the lone person talking.
I'm in the camp of those who didn't like Stuart Scott. He was part of the "Sports Personality" movement that has destroyed TV and radio. That said, I would not wish him dead or anything like that.
As for Irvin and Sanders - they need to shut the hell up. You can't hear the host on any show they are on because they constantly talk over him and have a separate conversation going amongst themselves. Very annoying. Deion, in particular, likes to say "I'm praying for you" after every highlight that includes an injury and he also says "I'm gonna text you, if you're watching" after a guy has a big game. So dumb. Shut up when the host is talking, leave your imaginary friends to yourself and quit with the childish name-dropping.
Molly Qerim remains the only reason to watch NFL Network.
Is it too late to have the US and Russia get into a nuke war and destroy the world? Sweet Jesus the level of utter fucking stupidity astounds me! :fp:

This is pretty awesome!! lol
Though I'll never likely go back to Atlantic City, still pretty cool.
Update.
Last Tuesday my daughter got notice that she has been accepted to the college where the early college high school campus is. On Wednesday morning she called me and said that she was notified that she got into the early college high school.
She will be starting there in the Fall. I'm very excited about the opportunity she has and very proud of what she has accomplished and I'm hopeful that this is the beginning of big things for her.

Wish we had that back then. Good for her!
The website I'm writing for switched editors and this new one is dicking me around with rejections due to stupid shit. I applied for Bleacher Report in hopes to get on there and leave that douche behind. Sucks because I was making some great dough since October and my articles had over 2M views since then.
:up:
Thank you. All credit is squarely due to my daughter. She has put it the effort to achieve it. :)
I didn't know you were being paid. Good for you. I hope it all works out in your best interest.
As an aside, perhaps ram should put some effort into something similar. You know, be productive. Maybe he could surprise Mother with a Christmas ham or a new window unit for the trailer. Falling short of those miracles, maybe he could simply pay for his own toys when the new games come out.

What do you write JB? About Wrestling or is that something different?
So..... I was selected (which completely STUNNED me) to serve on a jury the past 2 days in a criminal matter here in Harris County (Houston). I learned more about what lay people think about law/lawyers during the 2 days than I have in the 10 years since law school.
Meh the jurors actually "liked" both sides attorneys (except one who didn't like one of the prosecutor who allegedly cracked a smile when a witness was clearly caught lying the juror didn't think it was funny) I didn't see the smile but I remember the testimony and it took some effort for me to keep my poker face and not bust out laughing myself.
Son of a b%$#&h!!!
After purchasing City Skylines last week and absolutely loving the game... my barely two year old computer with very impressive specs (might I add)... will NOT boot up. For two days I have done everything and with no succcess. All of the tests before and after show the cpu is fine but I get a blue screen with a frown telling me I need to use my repair windows installation media to fix the computer start up. The best part... Dell no longer gives these to customers. So I contact Dell this morning and they will be sending me an istallation flash drive. However, they will ship it from Toronto... while I live an hour outside of Vancouver. Therefore it will most likely not arrive until next week. Even then there are no guarantees that I will not have to wipe the system... though my fingers are crossed that "refresh" windows will do the trick.
It's just so frustrating especially since I am on holidays this week.
Okay rant over... :(
Update... props to Dell Canada. They used Purolator Courier and got me the reinstall flash drive within two days of my request. I was up until 4AM restoring and reinstalling Windows and mostly everything I lost. It's just bizarre how I needed a full reinstall. There were no signs, no performance issues, no viruses, etc. One day the cpu started to restart itself and three hours later it was dead. I haven't had to do a full re-install since my XP days in the early 2000's. I was shocked how easy Dell has made the process. Wow!
LOL! :D Nah, this is the family cpu... that being said we have more than 1 device that can connect to internet... :P
I'm going on another Disney cruise this summer and I bought a GoPro3 camera for our excursions.
Side note: I'm 100% certain that they'll show Age of Ultron onboard the ship so that's where I'll see it. Ironically, I saw the original Avengers for the first time on a Disney cruise.
