Rest in peace, Stuart Scott

[Fixit]

Lost his battle with cancer at age 49. I know we all give ESPN a lot of crap, and rightfully so, but he seemed like a good guy and devoted family man.

Scott was truly one of the great SC anchors and I loved it whenever he was on after MNF. It's a damn shame.

Very touching tribute on ESPN. It's a shame you often don't realize how special someone is until they're gone. RIP.

Really glad someone made this thread on the main board. Like him or not, he was a critical piece to the sports media machine. And agreed with others, he was one of the good guys. Always brought a passion to his work. RIP.

Loved the guy. Was just a fantastic guy who was a great family man and was so enthusiastic about sports. Him and Eisen were a staple on Sportscenter for years. My thoughts are with him and his family, truly was a joy to watch and listen to. Way too young, a very sad day indeed.

He was truly one of the best at what he did, seeing the distraught reactions of many on ESPN really tells you how great of a man this guy was. Rest in peace, Stuart..
