Impeach Hickman!

Espn should take an Insta-poll on "Least Favorite ESPN Shows". I am pretty sure "Sportscenter Hosted by Fred Hickman" would come in dead last, even behind "Women's Luge" and "Men's Figure Skating". He reminds me of Bob Eucker's sidekick on "Major League". After Eucker passes out from too much drinking, the sidekick steps in. He describes a hard-hit line drive caught by a diving second baseman as "Pop fly.........caught." Classic Hickman-esque monotony.

Today, he compared Wilkerson hitting for the cycle in back to back games to someone winning the Powerball lottery twice in a row. It is an incredible feat to hit for the cycle twice but I am pretty sure the odds of winning the lottery twice are in the trillions to one. Then again, I did compare my brother to the black women who is creditted with starting the Civil Rights Movement. So maybe I am not the greatest judge of comparisons.

(Ed. Note-Wilkerson hit for the cycle twice in his career, not in back-to-back games as EA has claimed. Now that would be ridiculous. Still, Hickman is not good.)

I would be curious as to other people's opinions about Hickman and seeing as how anyone who reads this is most likely a sports enthusiast, I should get several comments. It could be that I am just a horrible evaluator of talent. For example, every American Idol that I see, I always think Anthony Federov is tremendous, but then even Paula says he is horrible.

Speaking of random Syracuse basketball stories, I am pretty sure that the lady who plays Dr. Malfoy (Lorraine Bracco?) on the Sopranos is dating Jason Cippola. I saw their picture in a magazine and the caption described Jason as a "former college basketball player" which is very sad.
