Even if you don’t like hockey you have to appreciate Barry Melrose‘s off the cuff style of broadcasting. He’s ESPN’s American version of Don Cherry except Canadian. This morning on ESPN First Take Jay Crawford and Melrose traded barbs over age and looks. Barry started by saying Crawford has the face of a pothole. Jay answered with ‘you’re old.’ The conversation then moved to skin care and Barry Melrose revealed an ancient Canadian beauty secret: Chicken shit. But this was live television so he used “ship.”
No wonder more Americans haven’t taken to hockey. You don’t have to rub bird crap on your face to watch baseball, basketball, or football.
ESPN just had Dana Jacobson apologize for

Tame. No problems here. Good-natured, funny stuff. The PC police are always on patrol so the quick, contrite apology came.

Hell, Greenberg still works there…as does Jemele Hill, sorta. Funny stuff.

If he puts chicken shit on his face, I don’t want to know what Melrose puts in his hair to keep it that slick…

Chickenshit Barry? Skip Bayless knows that the best way to keep your face looking young is the cum of young, Senegalese gigolos
