Stephen Colbert's Sport Report
The Sport Report (both pronounced with silent "t"s) is The Colbert Report's sports recap. The introduction and graphics are reminiscent of ESPN's SportsCenter. The introduction music is Skulls and Snakes by Zack Tempest of Xtreme Music. It was essentially created to cover the Saginaw Spirit, an Ontario Hockey League junior ice hockey team whose secondary mascot, Steagle Colbeagle, was named after Colbert. The Spirit was the driving force of the segment at its inception, with Colbert recapping games, trash-talking upcoming opponents and advising the team's coach, but has since become a segment for more generalized sports and sport related stories, once taking up an entire show on its own during the writer's strike.
