God, that has to be the stupidest, lamest ESPN gimmick to date. It's so bad I have the flip the channel when that segment runs during Sportscenter. I guess that turkey Kirk Herbstreet needs something to do in the summer.

    You hit the nail on the head.

    I too flip the channel, I refuse to watch it. Pop culture has invaded Sports Center. I thought the show was reporting the news in the world of sports, not a freakin popularity contest. What's next - comparing athletes to music artists or actors/actresses? That would probably turn me off ESPN for good.
  • incredibly lame.
    for true pop culture geeks....the real action is on World Series of Pop Culture on Vh1 image
  • Probably due to the season lull in sporting activities...and, to be honest, I'd rather them do specials like this than that 'world series of poker' crap.

    WORST. FILLER. EVER.

    For a network to be cutting edge, they sure have lost a step the past few years.

    Probably one of the many reasons why Patrick is leaving.

    I bet it was Stuart Scott's idea.

    I know they've got to fill up their time especially in this part of the year, but why not try to actually play pertinent clips from the games that are on instead of maybe one or two swings out of an entire baseball game, or one putt from a day's worth of golf? I can't tell you how many times I've seen a really great game on TV and then watched the highlights on Sportscenter that night only to feel like it wasn't that great after all. Sportscenter pretty much sucks all around these days. The (lack of) clips suck, the commentators and reporters really suck, the constant bouncing back and forth between different sports sucks, and now "Who's Now"? Who Cares is more like it.

    It is probably the most lame thing they have ever run. It is truly awful. The commentators are very sheepish in debating something this stupid. Wilbon tries to do it with some dignity but half the time they forget what they are doing and just argue over who's a better athlete. Please someone make Eric Young stop, it's too painful.
