YAY Sports Needs to Shoot Scoop Jackson
If you haven't heard, Scoop Jackson completely ripped off one of our favorite bloggers doppest concepts and didn't even give him credit for it. I'm so pissed I can't even really compose a blog about it. It's a good thing that my peeps at 3manlift.com were able to piece something together. Check out their rant on the entire subject. He pretty much sums up all of my feelings on the issue. Honestly, Scoop, ESPN, and whoever contributed to stealing this mans work and not giving him credit for it all suck. I'm pretty sure the Cavalier at YAY Sports owns the intellectual property rights to the Orange Roundie moniker, so ESPN might be having to cough up some dollars. Hopefully this means we'll never have to read one of Scoop Jackson's terribly composed columns again. But even better, maybe this means The Cavalier can force ESPN to premiere his Movie "Who Shot Mamba?" on ESPN when it debuts. Cav, I think you need yourself a good Lawyer! Too bad I'm not out of law school yet, or I would help you out. Maybe SunsGossip can help you out? I hear she's on her way to being a sick attorney.
Anyhow, look at this photo. How could they just take the Roundie concept and act like they came up with it?

SCLOOOOOP!
To arms Jones!
you know what i love about that headline? the subtlety.
I was trying to play on the who shot mamba thing. No hard feeling Scoop...
A Web site (YAYSports) gave me a nickname. They call me the Orange Roundie. That's what I learned to do on my downtime, between practices and games. On Oct. 23 they called me a winner. But before that …
That looks like credit to me.
But I do hate Scoop. And he did rip whoever off.

Wade: They added the link after the fire that the blogosphere has sent their way. But as Brian at YAY has mentioned...he doesn't care about the link. He owns the right to Orange Roundie, and therefore wants the character name taken down. He has developed the character since May with hopes of debuting it to the masses in his new film. I think you can understand his frustration then...
