The correct line and syntax is: <Keith Olbermann imitating Vin Scully> For those of you who are scoring at home, or even if you're alone.</KOiVS>

Um, no, it's not. At least, no more or less correct than ours. He might have used it this way, but I can confirm that he's used the "by yourself" verbage before.
(And I don't have the book with me 'cuz I'm at work, but I'm almost sure the "by yourself" phrasing is the one used in the catchphrase chapter of The Big Show.)[/quote] I just checked my copy of the audio version of The Big Show, and Keith says: "...or even if you're alone", in the tone of Vin Scully. Having also done a search on the phrase on Wikiquote, it has it as "...by yourself" (strange that I don't remember ever hearing it from Keith that way). There's also a third version I found elsewhere on the 'net, attributed to Keith, that ends with the following: "...if not, try flowers!" Lastly, there's a fourth ending (from my memory) that at least one other SportsCenter anchor has used (can't remember who): "...but if you're at home scoring SportsCenter highlights, you need to get out more!"
