Very thoughtful, well-written column from a writer at the North Carolina student newspaper:

Stuart Scott was, by his own words, cooler than the other side of the pillow. Not that he would ever act like it.

Months before he stood on the stage at the 2014 ESPY Awards to receive the Jimmy V Award for his perseverance in the face of cancer, Scott was at a much smaller award show. In spirit, that is.

It was the second-annual Rammy Awards, hosted in UNC’s Memorial Hall and filled to the brim with athletes from all of UNC’s 28 varsity sports outfitted in tuxes and dresses in lieu of jerseys and pads. Minutes into the show, the lights in the auditorium dimmed and Scott appeared, projected onto the screen as he always was — larger than life.

He wished he could be in the room, he said, but he had an episode of SportsCenter to host later because, after seven years of fighting, his cancer had given up trying to keep the man from his routine.

“It’s only my job,” he joked.

Another Chapel Hill alumnus then joined Scott on the screen — his boss.

ESPN president John Skipper, class of 1978, placed a hefty glass trophy in Scott’s hands. The first award of the night.

“This Rammy is presented in honor of your courage, your positive spirit and your commitment to excellence in all that you do,” he said.

“On behalf of everyone gathered in Chapel Hill’s Memorial Hall tonight to celebrate another outstanding year of academic and athletic accomplishment, thank you for making all of us so proud to be Tar Heels.”

Scott made us proud in that ESPY award speech — one that people rightfully remember as one of the finer moments in television history. Proud to be Tar Heels and so much more.

Rich Eisen did the Colts-Bengals highlights with Stuart Scott's catchphrases. Just great!

If I was JA Adande I wouldn't have even let Whitlock slide into his column after Whitlock was calling Scott "Bojangles" back in the day for his hip hop references.

It's too late for him to do any good deeds and pass the tests of Allah.

Just when I was coming to grips with Bryan Burwell's passing...

In the car today and caught w/e show is on ESPN Radio in the early PM. Wasn't Coach, it was whoever's on after him. Anyway they had Michael Smith on, and I just tuned in as they asked him some question, didn't quite get all of it, but he went on for a good 5 minutes straight. I wish I could've recorded it and put it on here (for all I know, it probably is out there somewhere). But simply put, the man gets it. So eloquent, so thoughtful, so on point.

Then I heard the clip of my Terp SVP's reaction. He's as sarcastic/irreverent as it gets, 'course, so to hear him break down like he did...yeah, it hit me in a place; almost surreal.

You just had a feeling this was a decent dude. Loved what he did, and it showed. More than that, he really was (to borrow from DWade) a father first. RIPower.
