49 is far too young.

Quack

Very sad.

Michael T Hudson

Cancer is a bitch.

Obey The D

Indeed it is. He started on ESPN right around the time I graduated HS. As previously stated, 49 is way too young. RIP

Sad news.

Going to miss his saying "Boo-Yah!"

RIP...

A sad day. One of my favorites on ESPN

Bummer, I know a lot of people gave the guy shit for being a walking catch phrase but I always thought he was decent. Stupid cancer.

Deftones

I hated his catch phrase crap, but he seemed like a good guy. Too sad.

Count Dooku

Tributes on ESPN2 right now. Very moving.

RIP Stuart Scott... while he had many detractors because of the catch phrases, he was still a decent sports anchor. May he rest knowing that he beat cancer. And that anything he did while battling cancer will somehow impact those still living with this fucking disease.

Bacon

One of the best

Colts doing a moment of silence for him before the game today.

Red Dog

Really sad.

B.A.

Fuck Cancer.

He fought it off and on for seven years. That's one hell of a fight.

Oh shit, I was aware of his cancer, but didn't realize how bad shape he was. That was a very good piece on him. Nice work by espn and it was nice of Robin Roberts to narrate it.

I know that piece must have been produced weeks/months ahead of time, but it must have been really morbid to have all these ESPN anchors talk about Stuart in the past tense as he was already dead.

Rich Eisen just heard the news this morning on NFL GameDay morning. Here's his tribute. Very touching.

Deftones

About a month or so ago there was a report he was in hospice. People close to the situation denied it up and down, but I am wondering if that was true.

hdnmickey

Not a fan of him or Dan Patrick, but sad to see him go so young.

TGM

"as cool as the other side of the pillow" is the only good catch-phrase to ever come out of ESPN.

For some time, I felt like he could have toned down his on-air persona. But I'll readily admit I've grown to admire him as a person and the courageous battle he's dealt with for years.

DJariya

You could bitch and complain all you want about his schtick, but Scott made an impact on sports television. Fighting cancer 3 times and dying just short of his 50th birthday fucking sucks. Life is so unfair sometimes. He was a really brave man and I admired his battle and the work he did on TV.

nickdawgy

Terrible news. RIP.

VHS?

I had no idea he was that sick. Far too young and as a staple of ESPN, he will be missed.

Cardsfan111

That was a tremendous tribute by Eisen, especially considering doing so on short notice.

Count Dooku

Even though Hannah Storm was visibly distraught reporting his death this morning, it seems like they had that tribute package--including interviews--up and airing pretty quick.

I think ESPN was ready for this sad news.
