smh810 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 Craiggers was definitely rusty at first but seems to be getting into it now. His late night show may suck ass but he was OUTSTANDING at SportsCenter. I don't mind catchphrases if you're good at it and Craig was great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 RAY~! > John Madden. This is the year the so-called "jinx" ends. I think Kilborn has done a decent job so far. He seemed a little overwhelmed at first, but now he's got his feet under him and is doing fine. The rust was apparent for a while, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith Olbermann and Dan Patrick were the best team on Sportscenter ever...period. The chemistry between them was incredible and they had the personality and sports knowledge to match. The reason why Olbermann wasn't asked back is because he is/was a complete nightmare to work with or for. This is why he is constantly moving around which is a shame because he is an incredible talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Wildbomb 4:20 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 So true. So very true. I must say that Kilborn, once he opened up with the catch phrases, just got back into the groove. The Sox-Tigers highlight was difficult to watch, but beyond that, flashes of brilliance. Steiner will be hilarious. BRING HIM BACK! Olbermann...Patrick...six o'clock....hilarious. Oh, and Berman is considered old school because he typically will only do a couple Baseball Tonights and runs the NFL side of things. He might do SportsCenter a week per year. He's not on often to be considered a regular. --Ryan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 What's Steiner doing nowadays? And speaking of old school -- I always used to watch the Sports Reporters back in the day. I miss that fat guy from Philly. Can't remember the first name but the last name was Lyons, or something like that. I watched a few SR's recently and they're nothing like the old-school ones, even though Lupica and Ryan are still on it. Oh, and I have to say it. I never saw Chris Berman as a SportsCenter anchor ever ... ever... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 When the team of Keith/Dan ended, it seemed like Sportscenter died a little for me. Steiner was awesome just because he always had a deadpan look and when he got to laughing, he literally broke down. It was great. The anchors they have on Sportscenter now are just no fun. Some of them really seem bitter, like sports is the last thing they wanted to cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy no nose 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2004 I thought Kilborn was pretty good when I watched it last night. I missed the first 10 minutes or so which from what I heard is what people didn't like of the show. He was always my favorite guy on there. I'll try and check out the rest of them.
