April 1, 200521 yr okay, so i was just watching SC right...and they were doing highlights of the giants and a's at SBC. Alou hit a homerun in the first row out in left field and he first says 'no doubt about that one' and then he continued to say, i'm sure that was the first of many alou will hit out there at 'hitter friendly SBC Park' hmmm, is it just me or is SBC the least hitter friendly park for Home RUns in the league? i think if he was on dream job he'd be kicked off and stephen a. smith would be like, 'that was absolutely horrendous ugh i'm so mad AL JAFFEE FIRE HIM PLEASEEEE
April 1, 200521 yr I guess I'm the only who likes him I can't stand half these idiots who use the show to try their stand up material and give all these BOOYAHS. Just give me someone who just says what they're supposed to say without putting on an act.
April 1, 200521 yr He was on MSG here for awhile before being on ESPN. 725911[/snapback] He was also on YES last season

I'm not complaining at all about his style just the point that he gives inaccruate information half the time.

April 1, 200521 yr and I know this isnt Hickman's fault but I could have sworn it was Easley who made the play at 3b yesterday, not Cabrera
April 1, 200521 yr and I know this isnt Hickman's fault but I could have sworn it was Easley who made the play at 3b yesterday, not Cabrera 726060[/snapback] It was Easley, but even the thing said Cabrera so they really boofed it.

Just gimme the damn news and I'll watch Kenny Mayne if I want someone funny. 725949[/snapback] Im not sure if you guys remember but this whole trend of doing comedy bits on sportscenter started with Craig Kilborn in the early to mid 90s when he was on the show. Thats what pretty much vaulted him to the Daily Show and then to his own show. Back then he was fantastic at what he did. It was also the primary reason sportscenter went from being an ok show to a huge hit for audiences. Unfortunatley it did lead to a numerous amount of wannabes who have crapified the show. I wish they would go back to the old days of being a 1/2 hour highlights only show. Back then they would only show the results of the night before and the big headlines. None of these endless and needless commentary. Suffice it to say, sportscenter sucks now.
April 1, 200521 yr hickman is high quality. goes back to his days on cnn. hickman does it the way it should be done.
April 1, 200521 yr Olberman and Patrick, Kilborn and Patrick... those were great duos. Charlie Steiner was the man too.. he gave the news straight forward and every once in a while would just crack you up to no end. Agree with Das, Hickman does it the way it should be. Who cares if Hickman messed up, everyone does... I'd rather have him mess up then here BOOYAH 800 times. Steve Berthume and his partner with a lisp... and then Stuart Scott... stick a fork in my eye.

April 1, 200521 yr steiner is awesome and i loved his commericial back in 99 with the 'follow me to freedom' line. 726202[/snapback] :lol I remember that. Classic
April 1, 200521 yr lol... I'd have to say the best espn commercial was Charlie Steiner in Melrose Place. "Hi Sydney, I'm Bobby the new pool boy. Want to rub Coconut Oil on my back?"

April 1, 200521 yr Best ESPN Commerical ever was the Y2K one they had back in late 1999. Everything goes dark or static, everybody panics...and at the end, Charlie Steiner, with his tie on his head, a lantern, and war paint on his face goes: "FOLLOW ME!!! FOLLW ME TO FREEDOM!!!" :lol :plain
April 2, 200521 yr Of course there's the classic moment after SC shows the highlight(?) of Carl Lewis trying to sing the national anthem. Cut back to Steiner, and he's absolutely losing it, laughing hysterically, as he's trying to say the anthem was written by Francis scott Off-Key. That's the best Charley Steiner moment.
April 2, 200521 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/thisissportscenter/archive There you go guys. Enjoy. I certainly did.
