Meh... He was the '80s Stuart Scott

They have Jeanne Burns too.

That lady looks awful on TV. Probably nice but they need better wardrobe and makeup/hair people.

I'm always amazed how they can take a pretty woman and make her look like a test subject for first week cosmetology school. SMH.

I had no idea that Hickman had prior experience on a national scale before joining Sportscenter. First I ever heard of him was when he did that new anchor competition show for SC cicra '05.

Disagree. I was never much of a Scott fan, but I loved my Nick and Hick highlights show. My favorites of all time.

It's a damned shame what happened to them. At least Fred is alive and still making a go at it.

If you had cable in the 80s you do. His show with nick charles on cnn was the the best late night sports show before Patrick/Olbermann took over espn

No wonder I didn't know of him. I didn't have cable where I lived back then.

and on a side note

NBC33

This had been missing on my DirecTV guide until I realized it was moved to Channel 62.

I was fixing to start a thread on Hick.

I was trying to remember where I saw this guy and started to remember CNNSI which wasn't a bad channel. Still wtf is he doing on 33?

10-15 years ago she was HAWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But spitting out a few kids and getting that rolly-polly arse didn't help... She had a great morning gig with WAFB but decieded to quit to work at her hubby's gym... The dude looks like he is gonna expload last time I saw him...I bet she can hardly feel his pecker anymore because of the damage the roids have done to the dude....

He used to host the Braves and Hawks pre game shows for a couple years up until 2011 or so, Having him and Brian Jordan together was like listening to two donkeys with tourettes. Just awful
