Hello.

WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME THAT CANADIAN SPORTSCENTRE (yes, that’s the way they spell it up there) WAS SO MUCH MORE FREAKING AWESOME THAN AMERICAN SPORTSCENTER??!?!? Actually I have no basis for that last assertion, since I’ve never spent more than 47 seconds total with American SportsCenter. But I assume Canadian SportsCentre (I love that spelling!) is better because IT IS SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!??!!

Here’s “the best” of Sportscentre commentators Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole.

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. Can someone explain what’s supposed to be happening in the first six seconds of that? Seriously, what the fuck is that? It’s like one of Bay’s Transformers flicks where you can’t quite tell what’s going on but you know it’s really exciting.
    Sorry, I didn’t get more than ten seconds into that.

  2. Yeah, YouTube is the worst. But fast forward to the :30 mark when the hilarity actually starts. (Seriously. YouTube needs to sit these people down and tell them, “No one cares about anything that happens or anything you have to say *before* the kitten falls into the toilet… JUST GET TO THE KITTEN FALLING IN THE TOILET!!)

  5. I could have easily skipped ahead. I just felt like talking about how instead of using, y’know, sports to get people excited on a sports show, they use some image of the word “SportsCentre” being fired through a space cannon. “We’ve got movie sign!!” Sorry, carry on.

    Wait… are you saying that I had a thought that other people actually AGREED with?

    MY WORK HERE IS DONE! GOODNIGHT!

  8. I must admit, I’m always impressed how Canadians never take themselves too seriously, even in TV.

    I’ve not watched U.S. SportsCenter either, Mr. Humphrey. It certainly runs enough on ESPN and ESPN2 though. X-D

  9. Truthfully, these aren’t even their best moments. Check out mrlogue1021 youtube channel for some good everyday clips from these two hilarious gentleman. Someone mentioned the Michael Bay opening…these two guys make fun of that too. They make sports highlights even better! Best Sports “Progrum” (Sports Centre inside joke)
