The word was LA gang speak for the sound a shotgun makes when you dispatch a rival. So, basically, Stuart’s “style” was the dumbing down of commentary by using urban street slang. Sorry he succumbed to a horrible illness, but I never cared much for the way he, Jim Rome, or Stephen A. Smith used “hip” lingo to communicate.

I don’t think he really dumbed it down - he could play it straight too.

It was interesting on NFL Countdown to hear both Cris Carter and Keyshawn Johnson speak of how Scott cleared the way for them to speak the way they spoke in life on TV and to not worry about wearing the right tie with the right suit. They both were decked out to the nines while saying this and don’t recall either to be much of an on-air slang user.

Nope. It’s a type of stew. From the midwest, just like him.
