Man, I woke up yesterday and to this news and couldn't believe it. It's crazy how you don't even realize how much someone is/has been part of your life because they're not your personal family, friend or co-worker. But then I think about it, and I remember watching him so many times throughout my life. Admiring him and his work....even if just expecting to see him on Monday Night Football or NBA broadcasts.
He was like that cool uncle who grew up in hip hop but had matured into a man with kids, a house and a great job....but never wanted to become so stuffy that he couldn't relate. That uncle that made you laugh and gave you an example of what could be without being pretentious.
I especially loved how he talked to and about athletes. Unlike so many broadcasters and/or reporters who talk down to athletes and about athletes, Stu seemed to have a reverence for athletes and the work they did. There was a level of respect that he gave to them that made watching his interviews more comfortable for the viewer and the athlete. I felt that he saw them as more than just players...he gave them humanity.
He realized that THEY ARE THE SHOW.....not him. His job was to properly and interestingly convey their feats. That the broadcaster is to add color to the show...not be the show. The athletes deserve that recognition.
And he seemed like a genuinely good guy. Like the type of guy who appreciated where he was and didn't take it for granted. I heard that he didn't refer to ESPN as his job, rather as his "calling." Maybe that he knew that his example would be an inspiration to so many young black kids, as he was at one point, who wanted to see themselves in the broadcast chair/booth. And an inspiration he was.....not just to black kids who wanted to be broadcasters....but to black kids who just wanted to be professional, classy and great at whatever profession they chose.
I never thought that celebrity death could touch me, but this one did. I can't lie....this one got to me.
Because Stuart Scott wasn't a celebrity to me. Not in the sense that most are at least....the kind that feeds off the public but wants to stay as far away from it as possible. But a person who happened to be so good at what he did, the public had to know who he was.
RIP to one of the best to ever do it
Peace

Just think Stu made his debut on ESPN at the age of 28, during the apex of Sports GOATness
...not only was he a pioneer in Sports Journalism, but with so many a$$holes around there
hasn't been one disparaging remark about this man, and that's show's you his genuine good-hearted nature. They don't make brothas like that anymore
Holla at ya playa, when you see him in the street

Whitlock
Whitlock is such a c00n and sell out. Yet we are stuck with him and not Scott. Whitlock always back tracks. He did the samething when the NBA all star game was in Vegas. He first wrote a piece on how great it was and how much fun he had in Vegas and that he was hanging out with rappers and going to strip clubs. Then few days later he wrote a piece that he was scared for his life cause there were too many black people there. That all the black people at the all star game were gang members and baby mommas.
This the same Whitlock who said ESPN was a terrible place and he would never go back there To work again.
Whitlock is a sell out through and through.
all we have is c00ns now
Thing is Stuart never sold out athletes that I can remember. I never remember him going on a tirade like most ESPN hosts do about black athletes. He just reported the story and left it there.
Now we left with aunt jamele and Stepping A Smith.

I'm already balling at Stuart Scott's passing, but Muhammad Ali is an inspiration upon all of mankind.
I already know I'm crying my eyes out when Ali passes...he's the only pro athlete I ever looked up to and admired.
The sad thing is, Stu paved the way for them
So this is what it sounds like when doves cry
f*ck gay-z
GOAT CAMEL HATER
As if the rest of the company's reactions weren't telling enough, the fukking President of ESPN was on Colin's show earlier talmbout the breh
IDGAF if the nikka was corny
He was a black breh bringing our culture to the masses in a time where almost none of us had such a big platform to do so, and he opened the doors for others to do the same thing
@ all those death threats the breh received & him keeping them as fuel to feed his fire, on some Jackie Robinson type shyt
He was the GOAT sportscaster, 1/2 of the GOAT sportscasting team along w/ Rich, and always....ALWAYS, as cool as the other side of the pillow
Rest In Power, breh.......BOOYAH!

Checkin' in to say fukk Cancer. That speech will be looped with Jimmy V's speech for years to come. Pisses me off that so many people treat their bodies and families like shyt and live long lives, while the good people always seem to die young.
that shyt was like the only motivation to have muthafukkaz up that early talkin shyt before class, Stu had us all....
