    Wait, is the guy who hit the full court shot the same Denny Hocking who played baseball for the Twins?


    Yes, I am a Deadspin commenter, why do you ask?

    Sorry, Chuck has to go. He was once rude to me on 5th Avenue.


    Hands off Sue Simmons though. She's Live at 5 forever in my book.

    Paul Moyer is still alive and on the air? I thought he was contractually obligated to die when Tom Snyder kicked the oxygen habit.

    Actually, Chuck Scarborough reportedly inspired the creation of another movie anchorman, a full 17 years before "Ron Burgundy" ever existed.


    Scarborough was the supposedly the model for "Tom Grunick," he anchorman played by William Hurt in "Broadcast News."


    Where's commenter "Aaron Altman" with this kind of info when you need him?

    They should get rid first of that sad wax figurine, Brian Williams. Chuck is a much better newsman.

    Um, correct me if I'm mistaken, but shouldn't there be a retirement age anyway? Chuck has made quite a few gobbledygookish, slurry word mix-ups in recent years. I'm thinking it may be time for him to move to that big 'ol pasture in upstate New York, Connecticut, or Long Island. Wherever old overpaid news hacks go to fluff and fold their hairpieces.

    Given that Len Berman is making seven figures to do Spanning the World and toss things off to Bruce Beck (who is seemingly in studio as much as Berman) I would be a bit nervous if I were him right now.

    @El_Gato: I correct everyone on this...Sue actually said, "THE FUCK are YOU doing?!?!" which made it just that little bit more gangster, you know, the dropping of the What.

    So they are basically ceding the local newscast. Which would make sense, since Jeff Zucker's already ceded prime time. Seriously, what in God's name is NBC thinking?
