"It's a poor workman who blames his tools."

Elliot from Sports Night watches ESPN. Or, at least, Sorkin did, while writing the show.

I'm so head over heels in love with Sports Night, I don't know what I'll do in a few hours when I get through the last episode.

PS: Yeah, I know, technically the workman line was not made by KO, but... seriously, one of the SC catchphrases in SN? Too coincidental.

Everyone is having a Sports Night party without me! Sigh. *goes back to bookmarked SN fic*

Mmmmm Sports Night. When those DVDs came in the mail, I watched them all in less than two days. SO GREAT.

You know that SN is based on SC, right? So the similarity in catch-phrases is entirely deliberate.

Yeah, Sorkin watched a lot of SportsCenter while he was working on The American President, and said that he loved the dynamic between Keith and Dan, and purposefully based Sports Night on the environment at SportsCenter.

There's a really good article out there on it, comparing the two, that I can track down for you, if you want.
