"Who's Now" is an abomination

I'm almost finished watching my morning dose of SportsCenter (going on 3 times in a row this hour), and every morning I become increasingly annoyed with this stupid Who's Now competition. "By now you've heard, being now means creating buzz on and off the field." Does any real sports fan care what movies or commercials these athletes are in? Or who they date? They might as well be citing choices such as favorite color...I can hear the conversation now...
-Stuart Scott: "Well LT's favorite color is navy blue and Tiger's favorite color is red!"
-Mike Greenberg: "Well if we're going by what color is more now the obvious choice is red."
-Erin Andrews: "That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard...hands down navy blue, my friends!"
-A sissy slap fight begins (my money's on Andrews)
In all seriousness, Erin Andrews has made a fool of herself with her trite, cheesy comments. If I hear her say "my friends" or "nuh uh, honey, this is coral" one more time I might break my television. My favorite quote from this morning was: "Every man and woman in America knows who Tiger's wife is and now they want to see what his tiger cub looks like."
With comments like that it's hard to keep breakfast down. And, honestly, I feel bad for Michael Smith. He really doesn't look like he wants to be on this panel. And I can't support a contest in which Tony Parker beats Roger Federer, who is quickly becoming one of the all time greats.
The crazy thing is that people are actually watching and supporting this garbage! Over 130,000 votes for the last competition! This is a sad attempt at attracting the E! channel and Lifetime crowd to ESPN.
Maybe I'll watch again if they bring Jessica Biel back and have her do jumping jacks at the end of each segment...as long as Kevin James doesn't join her...I might get sea sick.
First of all, "who's now" should be changed to "Who's got nothing to talk about until training camp starts...and we've run out of vick, Bonds and Donaghy storylines for a while"
Secondly, Erin Andrews is hot...she's certainly not Jessica Biel...but whatever, she's hot and sorta knows about sport-type things...i guess...whatever, just have her stand their and nod when Michael Smith says something...i'm fine with that
Thirdly, aren't teams finally entering training camp...I'd really rather hear about Daunte Culpepper finding a job than this garbage...and that's saying something...
Come on....at least let Stu Scott take a football in the other eye
