These five MAG.com users earned a private chat with Stuart Scott. E-mail twoway@espn3.com and tell us why we should give you some keyboard time.

Jason Woullard: I see Cary Mitchell is The Man in the "sports dress industry." When will hip-hop wear replace suits?

Stuart Scott: Suits will never be a thing of the past. I'll rock my baggy jeans, but on TV I like my suits. By the way, how many athletes around my age -- mid-30s -- do you see rocking the hip-hop look when they're at a function or in front of the camera?

Marge: Do you think pro sports leagues should have a say on situations that arise in an athlete's personal life?

Stuart Scott: It depends. If the situation involves an alleged crime or something else that could impact how that athlete performs his or her job, yes. But if, for example, a team found out one of its stars was living with a same-sex partner, then no; it's none of that team's -- or the media's -- business.

TJ: We've seen some serious hits so far this football season. A couple of weeks ago on Monday Night, Ray Lewis hit a Bronco so hard my TV changed channels. Has that dude gotten up off the turf yet, or did they just bring out the chalk for the outline?

Stuart Scott: He actually jumped right up! I don't think he knew where he was, but he jumped right up. Probably thought he was back in seventh grade. It's that boxer mentality ... I have no idea where I am, but I'm standing.

nuklduster: Hey Stu, people always talk about Bonds' postseason performance. When are they going to start dissing Tom Glavine's?

Stuart Scott: Why's it gotta be about a dis? Is it our job to dis people?

Emerson: Yo, Scottay! We all know George Foreman has a cooking device, his famous grill. Can you cook up something as healthy as he can?

Stuart Scott: I don't know if it's healthy, but I've been making pancakes since I was 3 years old. I'll put them up against anybody's.

Emerson: Pancakes, huh? Any in particular? My girlfriend claims hers are the best. Want to come over for a cook-off?

Stuart Scott: You'd like me better than your girlfriend afterward. Mine are that good.

Emerson: Double S, can you give North Carolina a recommendation to get me in?

Stuart Scott: I haven't paid my alumni dues in a little while, they probably wouldn't care what I said. Sorry.
