cousins or not

[SBU72]

CBS once again had a comment that while Scoop and Dion are real close, they are not in fact cousins. For years (since Dion verbaled) the story here, even from those who usually are reliable sources, commented on them being cousins. Can we get that cleared up.

It was cleared up by Dion. CBS is lazy.

CTO clarified this in a chat a couple weeks ago, they aren't blood cousins, but a really tight and consider themselves to be cousins. Its like that family friend you call Aunt or Uncle even though you aren't blood related.

grandmothers are step-sisters or something of the sort

The payboard knew about this before Dion was born..

Dion basically grew up in Scoops' grandmothers house, so they've known each other since they were little. No blood though...

No they aren't - they got it right. We're the ones that had it wrong.

Interestingly, the "cousins or not cousins" conundrum is one that also comes up often with Kentucky fans, though for very different reasons.

Ian eagle had it exactly correct and early explained it

Speaking of Eagle, I love the fact that announcers are supposed to be unbiased, but then they showed his family and they were all decked out in Syracuse gear.

If his wife is alum I don't blame the kids supporting their mother's alma mater nothing wrong with that. Eagle has never shown a tint of bias compared to other announcers cough Jimmy Dykes, cough.

Eagle's an alum, too.

I know I saw the highlight, I was just saying why would his kids be decked out in Cuse gear, and showing them at the game.

I asked Dion if he prefers Pats or Genos for a cheesesteak...he answered 'Both.'

I think he is planning a run for mayor of Philly oneday, retweeting his way all the way to city hall.

Not cousins. Scoop told us so, point blank, last night.
