Truly sad. Sports lost a great TV talent and a family lost a seemingly very special man. Having dealt with cancer directly, it always sucks more than anything else when I hear more good people suffer from it. RIP Stuart
Thanks for making this thread, its indeed a sad day. Watching ESPN and seeing the tributes paid to the man has been and I'm not afraid to admit very moving. RIP Mr Scott.
my dad had prostrate cancer i have prostrate cancer the only thing that keeps me going... my dad came down with it at age 64... he'll be 93 in may
That is tough. I watched my ex battle and recover from breast cancer for three years. Power to you Irish. Watching someone battle it directly every day is hard enough. I can't imagine being in the battle itself.
thanks bro in a weird way, it's almost easier i have good days and not so good days but worrying about others [family, friends, etc] who are sick is what kills me
I had no clue man. Hope you are doing well and fight it all the way. You are stronger that it can ever be.
Hannah Storm showed some serious guts today. I've learned to detest ESPN over the years, but always loved Scott and he could make golf highlights seem exciting. Great personality, and it definitely upset me to hear of his passing this morning. RIP
thx guys not something i wanted to publicize but something about today brought it out can't tell you how many days i cried and asked why me i'm nowhere as brave as stuart and i'm nowhere as badly inflicted that dude is my hero
Mother Nature is a cruel bitch. Every medicine we invent viruses and disease mutate just to throw a collective middle finger to us.
As many people on here know, I had testicular cancer 4 years ago. It was caught early and everything has gone well. I had radiation treatments for precautionary reasons and every time I went for treatment I felt like the lucky person in the waiting room, most everyone else was dealing with prostate cancer. Still, there was always something surreal about those treatments. Likewise I have had numerous CT scans since, and even though there has been nothing to worry about, the experiences are still surreal. I don't know what kind of treatment you've had, or how you are doing, but wish you the best. Your dad is 93? That's not amazing for someone with cancer, that's amazing period. There are plenty of people without cancer who would be blessed to live so long. I suggest you buckle down and plan on making it to at least 93, especially if you want to see the Dodgers win another WS.
glad you spoke up mouse still hard for me to even talk about it, and i don't want to jinx anything they caught mine early after an emergency appendectomy our treatments sound eerily similar except i get to go through the catheter thing... bonus sometimes i feel cursed, other times blessed could very easily be worse
whether you care for olbermann or not... Keith Olbermann Has A Great Stuart Scott Story by Barry Petchesky | Deadspin.com -- Today 9:01am On yesterday's episode—the same one where he re-aired Stuart Scott's 1993 ESPN2 debut—Keith Olbermann decided to honor what he called Scott's "professional courage." Specifically, the time an ESPN executive, piqued by Scott's unique catchphrases, called the anchor into his office and told him he was being too black on the air. Scott was "using language that most of the audience didn't understand, and it had to stop," Olbermann recalled the executive as saying. Scott, furious and offended, took to his column for ESPN's website (hosted on Prodigy!) to write about how honored he was that ESPN let him use certain phrases, "evocations of his cultural and racial heritage." He traced the origins of some of them, back to the streets or the church and even to the plantation. After that, no one was going to bother Stuart Scott about his catchphrases.
bravo tiger and well said :golfclap: GOLF CENTRAL BLOG Woods among mourners at ESPN anchor's funeral by Will Gray | Golf Channel -- 3 hours ago Tiger Woods was among several celebrities in attendance Friday at the funeral visitation for longtime ESPN anchor Stuart Scott, according to a Charlotte Observer report.

Scott was an anchor with ESPN since 1993, and he and Woods developed a friendship during Woods' rise through the professional ranks, including filming commercials together. Woods sent a tweet following Scott's death to address the loss:
