Gordio Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I grew up watching Stewart Scott. ESPN took a big chance on letting Stu be his own man in a time when most of the anchors were proper button down tie kind of guys. Here comes a black kid trying to crack in to a business that was dominated by white males & he was himself & it worked. I give him a lot of credit & I give ESPN a lot of credit also for allowing this to happen. I know in that profession your supposed to be unbiased but I remember the one time, Wednesdat night in Febuary he was doing Sports Center & Duke was top team in the country & UNC this wasn't one of their better years(they weren't even in the top 25) & they were playing in Cameron later on that night & he looked at his cohost Rich Eisen as they were talking about the upcoming matchup & he said "come on Rich you think UNC has got a shot don't you?" Eisen just looked at him started laughing & said "I don't think so Stu, not tonight." RIP Stewart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Glad to hear you got some good news. I hope you are able to fight it and win I liked although sometimes his style didn't sit well w/ me. Overall a good figure on ESPN. Sad that cancer took him too early. Best wished to his family.My wife is battling it also, for the 2nd time & did get some positive news on Friday, a late Xmas present.
