The Scoop for Feb. 25, 2020

It was a sad day yesterday as Kobe Bryant and his daughter were laid to rest. Plenty of people shared their thoughts, but it was Shaquille O’Neal who was able to bring some levity to the proceedings while paying his respects.
Shaq said he would teach Kobe’s kids all of Kobe’s moves, but wouldn’t teach them any of his own free throw techniques.
I mean seriously. His form at the line is awful.


I get that comedy is subjective, but I personally think Pete Davidson from Saturday Night Live is hilarious. But Pete is thinking his time at SNL should be over.
“I personally think I should be done on that show because they make fun of me on it.”
Pete, you realize that SNL is a sketch comedy show. They make fun of everybody.
“They think I’m dumb. Like I’m literally painted out to be this big, dumb idiot.”
I mean, I get it. That’s never a great feeling. I mean, I’ve managed to make a career out of not being smart, but hey, it’s not for everybody.


If you’re a Saved By The Bell fan, then I’m guessing you’re stoked about the reunion/reboot thing that’s happening. But, if you’re a Screech fan, you’re probably going to be disappointed.
Yep. Now, both Screech and Lark are being left out. I’m not a fan of the show, but if you’re going to put the band back together, bring back everybody. I’m kind of on Screech’s side on this one.
