Memo To ESPN: Fire Stuart Scott And Hire Some God Damn Fact Checkers

Filed under: Sports! — By Jack at 2:35 pm on Tuesday, May 9, 2006

A screen capture from today’s wrap-up of last night’s NHL playoff action on ESPN.com:

Oh, Ryan Miller had 43 saves all right. But he made them against the Ottawa Senators, not the New Jersey Devils. The Devils are playing the Hurricanes. That is a different series.

Seriously, ESPN, how difficult is it to simply read the AP report of last night’s game? I know your interns and production assistants have their hands full combing through forgotten TV shows and early 90’s rap songs in a never-ending quest for Stuart Scott’s next blood-curdling catchphrase, but for Christ’s sake, at least try to get your fucking geography straight.

Oh, and it looks like Buffalo is coming down with a raging case of Cup Fever! If the Sabres go to the Cup, I’m quitting my job and moving back for the series.

While they’re at it, how about they buy a spellchecker?

This is the most accurate post that I have ever read. Way to speak truth to power.

My roommate grew up with Ryan Miller in East Lansing, MI. They went to school and played little league together. For Christmas, Miller sent us a poster of Nixon bowling, like the the one The Dude has on his wall in the Big Lebowski.

I saw Stuart Scott making out with Troy Aikman in a rest-stop bathroom off I-95 this weekend
