When I was first introduced to Howie Schwab at ESPN nearly 30 years ago I was told: "This is the guy who knows more about sports than anyone else alive." Howie said, "Oh, that's not true." Then he paused and added. "OK, it might be true." Godspeed, my friend. pic.twitter.com/QbdkasRJhO

Howie Schwab Was The Man To Beat At ESPN

While Howie Schwab spent most of his time behind the scenes at ESPN, having joined the network in 1987, he became the star of a game show hosted by the late Stuart Scott called âStump the Schwabâ in 2004.
The show pitted various contestants against each other as they went head-to-head in sports trivia. The final challenge required them to beat Howie Schwab, who was known as an expert on all sports from every era.
It ran for four seasons before ending in 2006.
Schwab also made appearances during the nascent âFirst Takeâ era. He left the company in 2013 before moving to FOX Sports, where he worked as a writer and consultant for âSports Jeopardy!â
TotalProSports extends condolences to Howie Schwabâs family, friends, and loved ones.
R.I.P Howie Schwab â 1960-2024
