Very sad. His award speech from a handful of months ago was so damn emotional and compelling.
 
He sure battled this for a long time. Quite the inspiration for many.
 
He introduced black TNT banter to starchy ESPN.
 
Sounds like cancer of the appendices. You'd think once you have your appendices removed you wouldn't have to worry about that. Guess not.
 
This just really hits home. I always really liked Stuart Scott. The dude was extremely inspirational, but cancer always hits me in the feels because my dad fought lung cancer. I saw what it did to my dad, and to see what it did to Scott just really upset me. That speech he gave at the ESPY's was so moving. The fact that someone like Scott can fight that hard, and have that kind of outlook and still go down.... it's just so unfair. This is a guy who was only 49 years old. He had two daughters who are still pretty young. He will be missed.
 
Sad news. Thoughts with Mr. Scott's family.
 
Terrible. He was part of what made ESPN so watchable for me growing up. Stuart Scott, Dan Patrick, Keith Olbermann, Steve Levy, Bob Ley, Charley Steiner, all those guys.....they made recapping sports exciting.
 
Levy's the only guy still doing SC, right? Olbermann's back but not at the desk, Ley's generally only on the "journalistic" stuff, DP and Steiner gone, :sigh:

How could you forget Rich Eisen???
 
I'll tell you someone else I forgot.....I totally forgot that Craig Kilborn was on the night editions of SportsCenter, before he started on The Daily Show.
 
This one hits home after his ESPY speech. My Uncle died last November from cancer, he had it 5 times and in 28 years of my life, I didn't know him without cancer. He had one lung removed, then later half of another. He lived 15+ year with 1 half of one lung.

Stuart Scott's quote of "You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live" resonates with me hard. In those 28 years of my Uncles cancer you would never know what he was dealing with. He was still out on the farm working, telling me and my cousins what we were doing wrong and living life. He lived for his grandkids and great grandkids. He died from cancer, but thanks to Stuart Scott, I know realize he beat cancer.

Stuart Scott may have passed, but like Jimmy V, his words will live on forever as an inspiration.
 
He sure seemed popular among the athletes as well as his coworkers. That video was indeed hard to watch. Speaks volumes about the man and how he will be missed.
 
A Tip of The Cap to a Real American Innovator. :cool:
