Stuart Scott of ESPN has Died at 49
- Thread starter natron20
- Start date
Cancer sucks. I know he's a Tarheel but he had my respect. I grew up watching him on SC and his catchphrases are still clear in my head.
Do yourselves a favor and watch the 15 minute tribute ESPN put together for Stuart. I found that, by watching it in 2 minute increments, I was able to make it through the whole thing without tearing up too much. Its on ESPN's home page.
I was one of those kids who grew up watching the same 30 minute Sportscenter at least three times before going to school. I think I liked the Rich/Stuart combo even more than Dan and Keith.

So did they produce this retrospective this morning, are all of these people talking about him in the past tense last week?
Was it from the cancer? I knew it had come back, but I didn't know he was that bad off. He had a good speech at the last ESPY's I think it was. Only Tar Heel worth a damn too.
The sports world lost a good man today, but his daughters lost the balance in their lives. A 19 and 15 year old. I pray God will bless them with comfort and understanding.
Not meaning to sound like a jerk here but, while I am sorry for his passing and all, the fact is that I could not stand him and turned the channel whenever he was on. BTW, I felt this way for years prior to his illness. That being said, I do wish his family well.
Sad to hear he is gone. He was one of my favorites growing up. He gave ESPN a little flavor when so many of the people on there were so cookie cutter boring. My favorite catch phrase that he used was "call him butter, he's on a roll". Going to be a different show without him. I lost my mother just 2 years ago and I was 34, I can't imagine how his daughters feel. He will def be missed by millions or people around the world but none will miss him as much as his family. RIP Stuart Scott.........
Very sad to hear. I could take him or leave him as an announcer, but I think he was generally one of the good guys.
Exact same age as me, too...very sobering.

RIP Stuart.
I'll admit, when he first started there in the 90s, he got on my nerves. I thought he was too over-the-top and trying too hard to be cool. But as time passed I grew to like him, and even enjoyed his work in his later years. I always thought he was a fair and impartial sports journalist.
49 is too young. F cancer.

Stuart Scott was a classic. He will be missed, and I'm sorry to hear he's passed. May his family find peace with the Lord through this.
I don't think that's too bad. When espn2 started, I hated the format and the "coolness" they promoted. I was more of a Bill and Dan Patrick guy. SS really grew as a anchor guy from the early days.Originally posted by CatDaddy4daWin:
You two must be hella fun at parties
Never cared for announcers or networks that acted bigger than the game like Rich Eisen and Scott on ESPN's Sportscenter.
But I'm not a monster either. I don't wish that disease on anyone including the late Stuart Scott.
RIP Tar Heel!

Absolutely HATED hearing this. Dude was such a nice guy, and lived to be a father. Was so proud of being a father to two girls, breaks my heart hearing this.
