potts17 4 Posted October 31, 2006 Has anyone noticed that the production company "The Inward Eye" produces this show? Isn't it funny that Stuart Scott's lazy eye points outward? Just something to think about. Also what the hell is up with the Schwab growling like an animal to get psyched up for the trivia game. He get's offended when someone says they can beat him, well if they didn't think if they could beat him, would they be on the show? The guy knows his stuff, but definetely lived in his mom's basement way too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 6,580 Posted October 31, 2006 Is there any doubt he's given the answers before the show? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
potts17 4 Posted October 31, 2006 I think he's given an idea of what the topics will be, I don't think they would go as far as to actually give him the answers. But who knows, I know the guy worked in the stats room for Espn, so being around sports and sports info that much, you will surely pick up on a lot of it. But he just acts like an idiot. Stuart Scott just annoys me, he thinks he's a gangster, talking like a rapper, when he has probably never seen the inner city or been around anyone other than suburbian white people. Stuart Scott = Bryant Gumble Does that make you scuuuured. God he annoys me, but it's like a car wreck, I just can't stop watching! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying he uses cue cards or anything, but I'm quite certain he's given the answers prior to the show. Some of the stuff he's answered just isn't possible to know. He's not that old and he's answered some stuff from well before ESPN's creation. What did he do before he worked at ESPN? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JT 137 Posted November 1, 2006 I'm not saying he uses cue cards or anything, but I'm quite certain he's given the answers prior to the show. Some of the stuff he's answered just isn't possible to know. He's not that old and he's answered some stuff from well before ESPN's creation. What did he do before he worked at ESPN? If they're facts, they're possible to know. Some folks have that particular combo of memory and desire to digest and retain info on certain topics. Most of us know lots of facts/trivia that took place prior to our birth, let alone the birth of ESPN. Case in point is Herbert 'Tiny Tim' Khaury. He was an absolute encyclopedia of baseball, particularly the Dodgers. There have been few events more surreal in my life than sitting in my buddy's living room (his aunt was Miss Vickie) and trying to stump 'Mr Tim' on baseball trivia. We had the book, he knew the answers. Amazingly, incredibly, weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had the book, he knew the answers. Amazingly, incredibly, weird. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's legit. There are some people with incredible amounts of trivial knowledge. Narrowing the topic to sports makes it even "easier". I'm pretty focking good at trivia. I usually go a couple times a month to a bar team trivia challenge and we've won lots of free beer and food over the years. A guy I know from trivia damn near won Jeopardy (right before Ken Jennings was on) and has offered to help me prepare to try and get on. But the guy that was on Jeopardy and I have nothing on a guy that used to go to trivia with us. His knowledge was He knew so much that we started calling him Rain Man. After knowing that guy, it doesn't surprise me that some basement dwellar knows as much about sports as the Schwab. Now that I think about it, Rain Man looked and acted a lot like the Schwab.
