They're Not Booing. They're Yelling "Stuuuu!"

stuscottcard.jpgWe know this is our job and everything, but we'll admit, we, uh, weren't watching Stuart Scott's little New Years Eve "spectacular" in Times Square over the weekend. Sorry. We've let you down.

Fortunately, Neil Best at Newsday was watching, and apparently Stu had some choice words for fans who might deign to occassionally be disappointed in their athletes. With one minute left in 2005, Stu took us home.

"When you go to the sporting events and you're watching the athletes compete as hard as they can, stop booing, OK? There's no point in booing these athletes. They've all worked hard. They've all trained hard, and let's see you get out there and do it, all right?

"If you want to go and have fun and cheer your team, do that, but if your team, if your guy, if your girl doesn't do anything, c'mon, man, don't boo them."

This is totally true. Stop booing, you jerk fans. Stuart Scott, man, he's been there. Let's see you get out there and do it.

  • After stumbling home at 1:45, not only was this clown still on, but it was a reply from two hours before, and on both ESPN and ESPN2. All I wanted to see were Giants highlights, but all I got was the verbal stylings of Mark Shapiro's poster boy for all form, no substance.

  • Next time I see Stu, I'm going to boo him until he cries and runs home.

  • damn, I forgot how cute Mike Hall is.

  • Sounds like someone is still a little bitter from the ribbing (and most likely booing) that he undoubtedly took after his freestylin' display last month... I bet Dan Patrick bitch slapped him for it.

  • Can we boo when some thug steps on the back of another player's knee?

  • I'm a huge Keith Olbermann fan, but damn it, Keith, Stu is so your damn fault. So, Keith, do us a favor and put this guy out of our misery. Please.

  • January 3 would be the best day of 2006 so far if Deadspin managed to work "Stu" into every headline today.

  • Last time I remember Stu "getting out there and doing it", he lost an eye. Carefull what you wish for Stu.

  • Let's see us get out there and do it? Does Stew understand the nature of profession selection and training? Would he say the same thing about doctors? "So the doctor amputated the wrong leg, he's trying hard! Let's see you get out there and do it!"

  • Additionally: Fuck Stewie Scot

  • Wow, I never thought of it that way. I've been a real jerk in the past, and to go out there and boo classy, hard working guys like Keith Tkachuk, Warren Sapp, Latrell Spreewell, the double ended dildo guy from the Vikings, and so many others was just plain wrong headed of me. Thanks for the totally Mike Brady moment, Stu, I was wrong to have doubted you.

  • stu is just more evolved than everyone else. His eyes move independent of each other like those lizards in the rainforest. therefore he understands stuff better. I think we should all bow down to the boo and the yahh

  • Does this mean he'll drop "Boo-yah" for something even more lame, like "Yay-yah?"

  • The thing is, if someone like Tony Kornheiser or even Sean Salisbury were saying this, they probably wouldn't be facing as much negative feedback.

  • I arrived at my hotel room at 1:30 AM, flip on, ESPN, hoping for NFL highlighes...instead, I got Stu Scott telling me what the top 10 plays of the year were, I want to give myself to a large Boa, and...wait, is that...that's My Girlfriend's music!! Oh my god, she's wearing a once-in-a-lifetime nighty! (holy shit, I just turned into Bill Simmons. Please kill me, and not mercifully.)

    Hey Stu? Thanks for the knowledge, man.

  • I was saying Boo-urns...

  • I had dinner a few months ago at a local overpriced restaurant. Stu arrived and sat at the table next to me. I've disliked him for years and always promised myself that I thought he sucked, followed up with a hearty "Boo-yah" when I saw him. (Where I live, it's inevitable to run into ESPNers.) Unfortunately, he had his cute little normal-eyed kids there with him, so I chickened out. However, after this pithy little display, no more wussing out on my part. Loser.

  • Wyy isn't anyone commenting on the REAL issue here... who is the HELL dressed that clown? If they were casting the role for Huggie Bear's retarded sidekick in "Starsky and Hutch II", he'd be a lock.

  • I wonder if anyone booed Stumanji at Jets training camp.

  • Peter Griffin: They look at me and see a loser. Except that guy with the lazy eye... He sees a loser and a snack machine.
