Scoop Jackson is an Unoriginal Thief

I don't normally read Scoop Jackson's articles, and in fact I haven't read all of the one I'm writing about - it's pretty long and pretty boring.

In it he takes the persona of the new NBA ball and refers to himself as the "Orange Roundie". If you ever visit the hilarious YAYsports! site you've heard the "orange roundie" phrase before. 'The Cavalier' first used the phrase back on May 17th. Orange Roundie soon became a staple and even had his own video preview for the Southwest Division.

You get the idea. YAYsports owns 'Orange Roundie'. Not only did Scoop borrow the phrase without crediting it's source, but he stole the whole shtick as well and made entire column out of it.

Thumbs down Scoop Jackson.

Heh

It took that for you to decide that Scoop sucked? I thought that was established months ago...

The orange roundie wasn't even the worst this month. That was just boring. He wrote a full article basically saying that the Bulls were just keepin the black man down by not allowing Ben Wallace to wear a headband (If I'm paying you 63 million dollars you can abide my dress code for 4 hours a day). Then literally the next day, he flip flops on that in a daily dime blurb.

Scoop's just schtick, and he's not even very good at it. Bring back Jason Whitlock, who had the exact same schtick, but was occasionally amusing.

So sad

that "occasionally amusing" is a compliment.

At least they got rid of Skip Bayless

Yea

It's, it is. I didn't mind Skip Bayless as much as some people did. Once again, occasionally amusing. But he was a curmudgeon, and sometimes very wrong. You just had to look past that.

Page 2 has gone downhill in the last year or so. I read TMQ, and Sports Guy, and thats about it. I really miss daily quicky- it was the perfect start to a workday.
