I've been known to make generalizations about people or places in order to disparage them. This list includes but is not limited to the South, wealthy people, drunk drivers, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, hippies, hobos, religious types, politicians, scientists, non-Marine Corps branches of the military, Ohio, Florida, most European countries, and New Jersey. And they pretty much all deserve it, especially New Jersey. But I'm not irrational in my hatred. I'll give the propers when they're due. And in New Jersey's case, Morristown is quite lovely, and Bruce Springsteen is an American hero.
All of this is a long introduction to the clip above, in which John Buccigross and Neil Everett dropped ten song titles from the Boss — according to Awful Announcing — during the first minute and change of Wednesday night's 11 p.m. SportsCenter. And AA's right: the 11 o'clock SportsCenter, especially when helmed by Buccigross and Everett (or Scott Van Pelt) has quietly not sucked for some time. Could this be a return to the glory days of Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann?
Well, no. But it's a step in the right direction.


He was The Boss … thirty years ago.
Morristown is so nice, I'm moving away in 4 weeks.
I love driving in circles around The Green, especially after a bar crawl. Brooklyn's really a nice quiet getaway, especially if I want to get away from greaseball goombahs. Oh wait….
Love Morristown. Let's hear it for Dublin Pub, The Grasshopper, The Office, The Famished Frog, and the MoTown Diner.
"Sportscenter Interns Who Wrote The Copy That Neil Everett Gets to Scream With That Monster Truck Rally Announcer Voice" dig Springsteen.

Matt, you've crossed the line with your hatred of drunk drivers. They're some of the best people I know. You take it back or I'll (hiccup) hav tto kick yur asss. Glug, glug, glug -zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Springsteen, huh. Topical.
Next they'll be making references to the Guess Who.
non-Marine Corps branches of the military,
It is ok my Jar Head friend, jealousy will get you no where.

I don’t understand these new bands. I’ll take Emerson, Lake, and Palmer any day over this Springsteen guy.

All I'm Thinking About is, I hope that State Trooper doesn't find the Spare Parts of that hooker I Held Up Without A Gun, Cynthia in the trunk of that Stolen Car in Atlantic City.
There's a weird Springsteen vibe on tWWL. Brian Kenny always fellates the Boss on Max Kellerman's radio show…
Every sports-talk guy (i.e.: idiots) in the ATL is on the Boss's nuts. He's old-cool, I guess.
