I hated Jalen Rose when he played in the NBA by the way. He's one of my favorite analysts though. I guess the "ebonics" doesn't bother me as long as they know what they are talking about. On the other hand they can't get Magic off my TV fast enough. Loved watching him play, but his takes are border line reeruned.

Yeah, Magic is terrible on TV.

Yup.... That's why God invented the Science Channel...

Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da' help!

Didn't Stephen A. Smith say the N word and not get disciplined, IIRC?

It's not just the former pro players pretending to be journalists/experts, it's the guys that actually went to college and got their degrees too.

LMAO This sounds bad, but it's worse when the two night anchors on SportsCenter (the ones of color lol, I can't think of their names at the moment) are anchoring together. When it's the white one and the black one it's a "smoother" broadcast, to go along with the thread topic. But when the two black anchors are on together it is unwatchable as they are ebonicing and slanging it up the whole sportscast. It's like a locker room, no joke. They probably drink on the commercial breaks they have so much fun together. I'm not just talking about the fact that you can't understand what they're saying, but they mess around way too much and mess up the broadcast because of their mistakes.

I think they feel more comfortable with each other that's why when they're anchoring together they act a fool, and when they're with a white guy they're a little more professional, but still crap as PGM said. ESPN has went down the drain.

Speaking of the "professional" Jalen Rose...

Stuart Scott annoys me, but it's not the Ebonics, he's just a repetitive idiot. I could say the same about Chris Berman though

Because second hand accounts on deadspin are always accurate, and never taken out of context.

Pictures can be taken out of context? Dude is out partying with kids that weren't born when he was in college after he just did the broadcast that night. If I'm his employer, he's fired.

Rose had a DUI about two years ago and ESPN didn't fire him because he's good at what he does. They're certainly not going to fire him over pictures of him partying.

Sad world.

Which eye do you look at???

You were the guy who made the sign for Bruce Willis to wear at the beginning of Die Hard with a Vengeance, aren't you?
