Take That Michelle!

Friday, January 25, 2008

I'm telling you that it's imperative that you watch the late SportsCenter every single night at this point. Van Pelt and Buccigross are reaching Gus Johnson levels of awesome these days and this intro is no exception....



What's up now Michelle!?!? He's television's John Bucigross and you're eating Cheese Doodles waiting for Family Feud to come on (I know I just rehashed everything in the video but it was THAT funny).

Bravo sirs!

(Thanks to AS for the clip)

The 11 pm SportsCenters are slightly better than the ones on all morning because there's no time to edit out anything remotely witty or off the cuff.

You're welcome, sir.

Although, if she's able to eat with her toes, that's pretty flexible. I'd bet Bucci would still be interested in that.

The 11 pm Sportscenter is also awesome because they actually show highlights instead of the countless talking head segments.

Eating cheese doodles with her feet? STEPHEN A SMITH LOVES CHEESE DOODLES TOO! BUT NOT WITH HIS FEET! ALTHOUGH HE DOES ALSO LOVE THE FAMILY FUED!

Why they edit this out in the morning repeats is beyond me. That's what makes it good, people!

+10 to VanPelt

He is television's John Buccigross . . . and you're not.

Van Pelt has always been great I thought but now Buccigross is becoming so much better both with highlights and humor. I remember when he was stuck with NHL highlights (back when the NHL was still on the World Wide Leader). Now he is just turning out to be fantastic.

@s2n:

They always edit out the 1am SportsCenter just in case something that could be misinterpreted is said (Steve Levy's comment about Barry Bonds sitting behind a chain link fence at Wrigley "looking like he's in jail" comes to mind).

Do the Catholics watch Family Feud?

The 11 PM SC is much better with Buccigross. Neil Everett's growling is startling.

To a previous poster - Buccigross was never "stuck" with hockey. He writes 2 hockey columns for espn.com per week, and he may be the best US-based hockey writer out there.
