Charley saying “Francis Scott Off-Key” was tremendous 🤣
Jack Edwards wheezing with laughter - WHEEZING!!! - is the best part of the whole thing.
Charley Steiner is a genuinely great person. A friend of mine in college was part of the campus radio station, and among other things called some games for the school. He somehow got hold of Charley’s contact information and sent him a message asking if he had any advice for a young broadcaster. I was there when Charley called him directly and talked to him for over a half hour, giving him tips and advice and just generally being awesome. He didn’t have to do that, and I’m sure it’s not the only time. Needless to say, we are all Charley Steiner fans for life.
Jack Edwards nearly hyperventilating next to Charlie was also a highlight of the segment.
After 30 years it's still the funniest moment and Charley Steiner's laughter is legendary! 🤣🤣🤣
Charlie...."follow me...follow me to freedom"!! Best Sportscenter commercial EVER!!
DEFINITELY. That ad will never be topped. Still hilariously funny.
Agreed 100%
I always want to wrap a tie around my head and shout this in front of a group of guys my age (40s). Anyone who dies laughing will be friend worthy!
Jeez I forgot about that. That was one of their best!!
I liked his one with holyfield too lmao
Charley Steiner laughing is the greatest sound that has ever emanated from Bristol, Connecticut... Bar none!
I couldn’t stop laughing when this aired. My god this was hysterical.
I have watched this video of Charlie. Makes me laugh every time. Great video
I remember being in college when this happened and we always watched sportscenter religiously. Me and all of my roommates were just falling over each other when this happened.
I was there that night. As a season ticket holder my seats were center court next to the tunnel. When Carl Lewis hurried off I looked at him to make eye contact but all I could see was a glassy stare looking straight ahead and a face drained of color. His face was an ashen color. I felt terrible for him. It was painful.
He looks and sounds wonderful for 30 years passed!
Seeing derick Coleman hiding his face at that game was crazy!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Possibly THE best part.
"Written by Francis Scott Off-Key!" 🤣🤣🤣
How did ESPN lose both of these guys? Baffling… They are SO good!
Because money
ESPN is a joke now compared to late 80s to early 90s
Because they don't want names bigger than ESPN.
@@cwc8979 yeah right... ESPN is fine, get a grip.
@@sillygoose635 The four letter is nowhere near what it used to be. It is a joke compared to what it once was.
SportsCenter in the 90's to early 2000's was GOLD. Go look at that legendary line up of sports news anchors! Nothing will ever come close to this in sports media.
Yep. Remember when Keith Olberman wasn't an insufferable douchebag?
@Todd Gaak I was just wondering wtf happened to Olbermann.... I mean to be that guy and then turn into this guy now? After he left Sportscenter I didn't follow him.
No joke! Woke killed it now.
@@WopTopDropi legitimately think Olberman has become mentally ill, there is no way a rational person would think or say the things he does regardless of political affiliation.
EVER
Loved Steiner’s weekly updates of NASCAR driver Dick Trickle.
My favorite will always be the Kerry Wood one, mainly for after him saying the punchline, they cut to the wide shot of the whole desk and calm, stoic, super-serious, real journalist Bob Ley is _crying_ with laughter too. That’s what always sticks with me.
Love the line Francis Scott Off-Key
I'm glad I was around for the dawn of cable -- the real MTV, and of course, the O.G., FUN, light-hearted version of ESPN.
The Evander Holyfield sportscenter commercial is one my favorites. 😂
“Come and get yo butt whoopin’ Charley!” 😄😄😄
Charley come out and take your whipping! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 one of my favorite espn commercial.
FOLLOW ME TO FREEDOM!!
@@DevinJHiggins someone beat me to it
Carl Lewis's rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" was an Albert Achievement Award Winning Performance.
Charley has a fantastic personality to go with a fantastic deep voice. His recap of this Carl Lewis story is priceless.
Carl Lewis and Rosanne Bar should get together for a duet
And Fergie 🤣
Both his and the Edward's laugh are priceless. 😂😂
this made me laugh out loud at the time and i’ve laugh every time i see it…”Francis Scott Off-Key” 🤣🤣🤣
I still laugh hard every time I watch the Steiner/Lewis/Edwards clip!! EVERY time!
Charley, Bob Ley, and Chris Berman were my favorite SportCenter anchors 👍👍👍
Dan and Keith were my guys.
The late great Stuart Scott as well
The mate Tom Mees also.
Drowned in a pool.
Amazing! Shared this with a friend last week. Probably the 40th person I introduced to the clip. Classic
I remember the basketball players trying not to lose it. 🤣
Charley's reaction to that awful rendition is a piece of television history.
Thank you for getting Charlie to talk about this!!! I always wondered about the behind the scenes aspect.
I watched that broadcast live with my sister, and we were both on the ground! My side hurt so bad!😂 Humor is an amazing thing!
I have met Charley a few times (@ Dodger Stadium) A very good guy !
My god that guy is blessed with the most tremendous voice. Wonder if he had to work to get that voice or was it training? So blessed
This is my all time favorite ESPN moment!
Mine too
Man, ESPN had a lineup back then. Ley, Steiner, Patrick & Olbermann, Eisen & Scott (RIP), Edwards before he became the biggest homer in sports, Mayne, Roberts. Quite a lineup.
Berman, Bob Ley, Linda Cohn.
Craig Kilborn
Trey Wingo
They were cool nerds
@@micahclawrence Sports nerds are better than Nerd nerds.
Charley Steiner losing it (a Mitch 'Blood' Green highlight comes to mind as well) was both a semi annual occurrence and fantastic every single time.
My fav will always be the Kerry Wood "public urination" story. He knew he was going to lose it within moments "After pleading...oh boy..."
That was classic. I remember seeing it live.
I spent 95% of the clip with "I can't stop now, I have to finish!" running through my head, and by the time they got to, "And that led to Tonya Harding, to..." I was so happy because there's no way to NOT get to Kerry Wood from there.
I remember watching this when it happened. It was freaking hilarious.
I was looking for that clip on TH-cam the other day...i couldn't find it. He's the funniest part of it
Man, I miss when “Sportscenter” and “Sports Tonight” were must-see TV; I enjoy SVP, but that was a moment in time that will never be replicated.
I’ll always remember that sportscenter great moment
That’s the ESPN I loved and miss. Don’t recognize them today. They’re all so serious and miserable.
Honestly the Star Spangled Banner is pretty damn difficult to just jump into if you don’t have a musical background. Especially a cappella. We assume we “know” it because we’ve heard it so many times, but to really sing it is tough. Props to Carl for trying, even if the result was hilarious
I had to show my 9 year old daughter the Carl Lewis national anthem. Wow that’s a gem.
Oh my goodness! 1 of many funny stories (including the 'scary promo ' for ESPN Sportscenter
Steiner once gave a dead pan reaction to some ridiculous story another anchor threw to him and sat there for like 15 seconds. It was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen at the time. I laughed like he laughed at the anthem. Damn I wish I could remember exactly when that sportscenter show aired
I think I know what you're talking about.
Charlie Steiner's voice is golden. Nice!
As if the screencap wasn't funny enough, hearing Charley deadpan recount Derek Coleman biting his warmup jersey in the face of the Carl Lewis anthem fiasco...damn my stomach hurts from laughing now.
Love him, great guy!
Steiner was and is a national treasure
This and the Kerry Wood story are friggen Steiner gold!
Classic Love Charlie and the one at Wilmington when he got in a fight going like 10 rows after the guy 🤣 lmof
Great Ol’ Days.
Thx Charlie & Rich 😊
He made this even more legendary and funny. My favorite video 😅
Absolutely hilarious. His telling of it is even better. Great voice btw.
Charley Steiner. Best laugh in the history of civilization.
Charlie did the best This is Sportscenter commercials
that laugh and ear tug will forever be the best part of ESPN
I seriously laughed out loud the entire length of this clip
I laugh like it's the first time I've seen it, every single time.
The Charlie Steiner doll “….” Follow me to freedom “.
Priceless !
(And the rockets) (red glare) … …
I can still remember his laugh almost as good as lewis singing
Charlie !!!!!!! Good to see him I watched that live oh my God I’m old
Priceless.
I still watch that clip on youtube and die laughing everytime I see it! Love Charlie! the Mitch Blood Green and Kerry Wood clips are to die for too. LOL
Old Sportscenter was the best.
yep, the new stuff is garbage
I miss this so much
The commercial with Charlie and Evander Holyfield was pretty good too. I believe Stu Scott was in it as well
Pay attention :
this is how you win an Emmy
My favorite Espn anchor. Sorry Rich. Then Rich, Stu and Craig. Kenny Main was my Dennis Miller of the ESPN world
Miss Charley!!
When I saw that that day in 90s I LAUGH till I cough lol
I remember the SportsCenter when he started laughing talking about Tonya Harding’s divorce.
I love this story sooo much.
Such a great memory.
I laughed till I cried when Carl Lewis tried to sing the National Anthem and Charley Stiener and Jack Edwards was laughing their heads off.
30 years? UH OH!
Remember when Sportscenter had amazing anchors and showed highlights of sports? They didn't need outlandish takes or shouting debates to be entertaining.
I remember watching, as I’ve been watching ESPN since almost the beginning of ESPN
I love this guy!!!!
😂😂😂😂 I can’t believe they celebrated this lol
need more about Kerry Wood's relief appearance
Roger Grimsby “I miss pronounced the word count.”
You couldn't get a friggin clip to overlay onto this for a little context?
I recall !!
Still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, LOL
EVERYONE loves Charlie…. Sincere, genuine, authentic…
Voice of the Dodgers
back when ESPN was fun.
The best live show... Charlie Steiner was the best.... still laughing over this..
Plot twist. Carl Lewis singing career took off at the Cabaret.
Oh oh!!!!!
Charlie was a legend
Oh wow, I remember that guy.
Still miss charley doing yankees games loved the part coleman bitting his jersey
I wish Rich had asked him about how he went to his right ear every time he was about to lose it giggling...
Seriously... watch his outtakes of Kerry Wood, Carl Lewis, Tonya Harding... he itches his right ear in ALL of them. It's his tell 🤣🤣
