Barry Melrose Silences Jay Crawford (NSFWish)

Gotta love Barry Melrose. As you know, we do quite a bit. Yesterday he was on the set of ESPN’s First Take and had an interesting exchange with host Jay Crawford. After going back and forth for a bit about who is an older old coot, Melrose reveals Canada’s beauty secret is… um… Chicken poop? He gets +1 for momentarily stunning Crawford.

This was all on live television so, naturally, ESPN rolled out their standard apology letter a little while later. But it’s OK, Barry. I’m not mad at you. In fact, I’d imagine people would actually watch First Take if this is what happened on a regular basis. But, sadly, Jaw Crawford and Dana Jacobson are about as entertaining and funny as chicken poop. I would say that you should take over at First Take, Barry, but no one should go near that show without a blowtorch and kerosene. So next time, just stick to Sportscenter buddy.
