Watch me on ESPN's "Stump the Schwab"!!!

I made it on to the ESPN show "Stump the Schwab" back in 2005, and since I'm really not so tech-savvy with YouTube, I just got around to having some guys at my work figure out how to post a clip from it. Sorry the quality stinks a bit - it's a video of a video. Like I said, I don't know much about YouTube and needed some help to even get this posted.

Watch the intros, where Stu makes a crack at me for collecting baseball cards.

Feel free to commence making fun of me now.

    Hmm, let me see if I can fix that - my first try to post it didn't work, so I tried a second time. Should be OK now, no? Don't click on the side link that is 7:28 in length - it's still on YouTube now but that's the one that I removed. The original link here should work, but just takes a minute to load.

    The answers are always way easier to come up with when you continually repeat ones that have already been said. image

    Just kidding. You represented yourself very well. Where's the rest of it?

    Yeah, I didn't tell Stuart Scott that 98% of them were 1987 Topps and 1988 Donruss.

    Took me 3 years to post the first segment. I'll have the rest of it posted in 2011 at this pace.

    I put just the first segment on, since the file size of the whole thing would've been too big for YouTube. I'll see if I can add the rest. I lose in Round 2 on a crappy question where I had to put Nick Van Exel's teams in order. The other guy got Doug Flutie - I was robbed.

    You are the god of olympic figure skating knowledge--congrats on beating the schwab on that round!image
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    In that case you are now dead to me.

    : in best Stuart Scott voice :

    Big ups to my main man, Scott, who was cooler than the other side of the pillow, and BOOOYAAAHED through the 1st round.
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    I have been getting abused (and rightfully so) by my friends ever since that aired for only beating the Schwab in figure skating. Of ALL the categories I could've picked as my shining moment....

    I would've told Stu to shut the hell up and ask some damn questions, but that's just me.

    Stuart Scott: "Schwabby, the next group of questions will be questions only you will know. Good luck gentlemen"

    Scott: "eh?"

    Before the taping started and we were doing intros with Stu, he was acting all crazy, running around doing chest thumps with us and some funky handshake that I couldn't follow. He said he was doing it to get everyone to loosen up and not be nervous; it certainly made me not think about sports and wonder about the crazy man running around the studio.

    He got hit by a football out of a jugs machine while at Jets training camp. It messed up his corneas really bad and he has had multiple surguries.

    per wikipedia, the ultimate source for "fake" real news....

    Scott had a couple of cornea transplants when he was younger. But, in 2002, Scott had been invited to join in the New York Jets pre-season training camp by head coach Herm Edwards. Scott was filming a story about football minicamps for ESPN. He was struck by a football launched from a Jets football passing machine during receiver drills. He had to undergo corneal surgery that same evening and was out of work for a couple months. He now wears thicker glasses and has the teleprompter moved closer. Scott now wears a glass eye[citation needed], on his right side, which is noticeably lighter and less mobile than his one biological eye.

    damb gina!

  • Those were some pretty hard questions and you did very well
  • RogermnjRogermnj Posts: 1,809 ✭✭
    I almost got into a fist fight with stuart scott at a christmas party in 98 when i was working for espn.

    Good times.

  • LOL good stuff...another Mashole welcome to the club... do you still reside in waltham? is schwab as fat in person as on the screen lol i like how he squeezed into that Padres jersey.....funny thing is i remember that episode (the tennis questions
  • Perhaps Dick Vitale is Stuart Scott's father. That "lazy eye" deal is hereditary.

    Congrats, man, that's very cool.

    Good thing the show was not called "Hump the Schwab." He is a very large, sweaty, hairy man. And that medium Ozzie uniform really accentuates the moobs.

    There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in.
