John Calipari Thinks John Buccigross Is A "Jagoff"
Monday, January 25, 2010
I'm not entirely sure if calling someone a "jagoff" is extremely insulting or not. And furthermore, if it's even allowed on TV. But that's exactly what Kentucky Coach John Calipari called John Buccigross, after the ESPN anchor brought up Calipari's loss to Memphis in the National Championship....
At least the name calling was taken in stride, but I'm curious as to know why someone from Pittsburgh is a "jagoff". And what exactly is a jagoff? So many questions.

Video Highlights From Barry Melrose's Farewell Party
Tuesday, September 16, 2008
Sean Leahy at GFH came across this video of Barry Melrose's going away party at the Greatest Bar in Boston which was filmed by some Internet video network called Dirty Water. There's nothing like some sappy music set to a YouTube video to get you all emotional on a Tuesday afternoon....
Nice cameos and words from John Buccigross, Steve Levy and EJ Hradek in there. The host seemed a little lost, but I guess that's what you'd expect from a Boston-based, night club TV show reporter. According to her bio on DirtyWater.com, Christina White, "has an Exercise Science degree from UMASS-Amherst but she minored in FUN!!" So look out Boston!

Cherry Makes Sports Center Debut, Calls Detroit A "Redneck Town"
Saturday, May 10, 2008
Don Cherry is known for not having a filter, but he's going to learn that you can upset people very quickly with certain comments. He was responding to a question from John Buccigross about attendance problems in Detroit when he dropped the r-neck bomb....
Wow...that's one hell of a coat isn't it? That seems like a pretty good assessment minus the whole redneck business, and it looks like Don isn't making any friends in Detroit anytime soon. Good first appearance...way to make it a little controversial.

Everett And Buccigross Oddly Introduce The NBA Highlights Of The Year
Thursday, April 17, 2008
Those new NBA commercials with the split screen kind of weird me out, so imagine my surprise when Sports Center used the same setup for Neil Everett and John Buccigross.
Weiiiiiird but highly entertaining. I still maintain that every creative writer and anchor is working late nights at ESPN. Good stuff.

Did John Buccigross And Neil Everett Lose A Bet?
Thursday, February 28, 2008
I've said it time and time again, but the 11pm Sports Center is absolutely hilarious. It's almost like the true talent and people with humor at ESPN sit around all day and come up with ideas to try out. Like how many Bruce Springsteen songs can we name during the show?
Reader SG pointed me to this clip and he said that this continued throughout the show. If they got 10 out during the opening do you think they could get through the whole Bruce catalog? Roger Clemens is up "The River" without a paddle???
Wait, You Can't Say The Word Pissed On Television?
Monday, February 25, 2008
Obviously there's a ton of words you can't say on TV, but I wouldn't think "pissed" is one of them. Well after Scott Van Pelt used it on Saturday's late edition of Sports Center and issued an apology I guess it actually is a bad word now....
Everyone at ESPN seems to be walking on egg shells these days, and that's kind of a shame. I guess blurred the line so much that you mind as well apologize if you say the slightest thing controversial.

Take That Michelle!

I'm telling you that it's imperative that you watch the late SportsCenter every single night at this point. Van Pelt and Buccigross are reaching Gus Johnson levels of awesome these days and this intro is no exception....
What's up now Michelle!?!? He's television's John Bucigross and you're eating Cheese Doodles waiting for Family Feud to come on (I know I just rehashed everything in the video but it was THAT funny).
Bravo sirs!
