And the thing about Stump the Schwab, it wasn't just question and answer, it was different rounds/games.

One round could be like "name the starting roster of the 1999 LA Lakers", another like you said could be the back and forth round between contestants where the category is "home run derby winners" and the contestants go back and forth naming names, or you have 30 seconds to name as many SuperBowl MVPs as you can.

That's what I'm saying. That's why I enjoyed the format.

So it really was a sudden "die in his sleep" thing.

Wow! He was only 63? He was old when I watched that like 30 years ago, now I'm seeing the show debuted 20 years ago and that's even more stunning, I figured that tracked back to the 90s

This is what I miss. A reboot of sorts with guys like Cam Newton, Shannon Sharpe, Pat McAffee, Stephen A., Jalen Rose, not necessarily just these guys, or even these, but similar personalities gathered in a huge group would be ten times better than shows like Around the Horn or PTI for instance. Got to give the people what they want, the best damn sports show, period.

They couldn't afford those guys. Well, maybe Cam and Jalen. But those 2 are lame.

My catcher made a valiant effort for a pop-up, but decided to lay on the ground for a while after missing it.




We decided that she died in the moment. May she rest in peace.
