Stuart Scott dies at age of 49
Updated: January 4, 2015, 9:47 AM ET
By Steve Wulf | ESPN.com


Stuart Scott, a longtime anchor at ESPN, died Sunday morning at the age of 49.

Among the features of the new ESPN studio in Bristol is a wall of catchphrases made famous by on-air talent over the years. An amazing nine of them belong to one man -- from his signature "Boo-Yah!" to "As cool as the other side of the pillow" to "He must be the bus driver cuz he was takin' him to school."

That man is Stuart Scott, and his contributions to the sports lexicon are writ large. But they are only one aspect of his legacy. When he passed away, he left behind so much more. He inspired his colleagues with his sheer talent, his work ethic and his devotion to his daughters, Taelor, 19, and Sydni, 15. He defied convention and criticism to help bring this network into a new century. He spoke to the very athletes he was talking about with a flair and a style that ESPN President John Skipper says, "changed everything."

[RoseCity07]

Man I'm shocked to read that. It doesn't seem real. I think I expected he'd beat it by the way I saw him in interviews and actually return to ESPN. He looked to be doing alright. This really sucks.

He's an icon at ESPN. Maybe the GOAT ESPN host. Athletes from every sport should show their respect.

[Beastmode88]

Fcuk cancer.

Very sad. His ESPYs speech was outstanding.

It's just weird cause every other thread about stuart scott i've read on here were ppl shitting on him non stop about him being awkward or making fun on his eye.A lot of phonies on here man

R.I.P you will be missed

[strifed169]

I didn't even konw he had cancer, I always never liked ESPN because they remind me of CNN, but he was one of the few anchors I've ever liked, to me he was the face of ESPN watching NBa ball on TV time to time, rip.

[Nevaeh]

RIP Stu.


I've always been a big believer in posting pics for threads like this, just for convenience sake.

Death has a funny way of changing things, just look at the shift in Al Davis coverage when he died. Or MJ.

You think people are never honestly sad to hear that someone they made jokes about has died?

You dont wish shit like this on people you have personal beef with. Much less a guy on TV. Its just sad news. And hearing his friends so broken up about it having to report it on live tv on the verge of tears?

Empathy is just...human. It doesnt matter what he said covering a Rockets game 10 years ago.

[Im so nba'd out]

The people who it was directed to know who they are this isn't directed towards you.

No one ever talked shit to SS, you probably have him confused with that multiple sources dickhead.

[sbw19]

Sad news. At least he isn't suffering anymore. RIP.

[TylerOO]

No one ever talked shit to SS, you probably have him confused with that multiple sources dickhead.

Yeah I dont recall anyone shitting on Scott. I dont even recall him being brought up ever on here

[DMV2]

No one ever talked shit to SS, you probably have him confused with that multiple sources dickhead.
He's right though, a lot of people hated on his jive talk, including me. But he isn't the only one, Chris Berman another. But Im sure that comes with tryin to sell 2 minute highlights.

That said, what a shitty way to die. 7 years battling cancer...damn.
Truly RIP, Stu Scott.

everybody loved stuart scott back in the day

talking about back in the day.... before a bunch of sad emo kids got on the internet

Of course. But there is a wiiiiiiiiiiide gulf between not liking someones on air style and not feeling for his kids and friends when he dies of cancer in his 40s.

I didnt rep him...or just love to hear him call a game or anything. But this new is sad as hell. He seemed like a good guy and he had a hard road...

Guy I know lost his mom 2 days ago...he wasnt my best friend. We didnt even always get along....but it still hurt to hear about it.

Some things are just bigger than the petty differences we harp on before shit gets real.

Thanks for posting. If you knew Scott's story and his fight w/ cancer, this hurts everybody.

RIP

[Dro]

Was really hoping we could get ONE thread without a bunch of bullsh*t....But I guess not....How hard is it to say RIP and get the f*ck out of the thread? Or how hard is it to steer clear of the thread if you truly don't give a f*ck?

[nathanjizzle]

you'll care when you lose someone that matters to you.

yes, i believe thats how it works.

[PJR]

Was a genuine good brother by all accounts. Sad.

[Pointguard]

RIP
Kblaze, and others if you know, but wasn't he one of the first to really jazz up the broadcast with lively language and a break away from traditional broadcasting???

[Rake2204]

RIP
Kblaze, and others if you know, but wasn't he one of the first to really jazz up the broadcast with lively language and a break away from traditional broadcasting???Really dating myself, but I think he came along around the same time as guys like Kenny Mayne, Rich Eisen and possibly Craig Kilborn (Kilbron may have been a little before). Scott's first run was on ESPN2, which was angled as the "cooler" version of ESPN. He hosted SportsSmash, which was essentially an edgier Sportscenter, so I'm guessing the lingo and approach may have brewed from there.

Sidenote, you guys remember the SNL parody of Scott at the end of the 90's? https://screen.yahoo.com/sports-center-ray-romano-000000679.html

Thanks Rake!

It's the Internet, he's just trolling. Relax. It will always happen.

[mehyaM24]

wasn't the biggest fan in the world, but it will definitely feel strange watching sportscenter without him.

rip and condolences to his family

[Real14]

R.I.P, one of the best ever on ESPN. I was very shocked when I first heard the news. I absolutely hate cancer. I lost a few family members to cancer and actually witness my grandma dying in front of my eyes from having it and she eventually died. Just like I said in the OTC, life is getting shorter and shorter. We have to make the best out of this life. My condolences to his family.

It's been years since I've watched ESPN so I had no idea he was sick. Sad to hear about it. I grew up watching him and Olberman, Kilborn, Berman and Cohn.

[Sharmer]

Didn't know he was so sick. He had a lot of heart.

[Rake2204]

Watching one of Scott's tributes, I didn't realize Bryan Burwell had also passed away from cancer, just this past December.

And currently, Shelly Smith is fighting cancer too.
