Lost his battle with cancer today. I will always remember his SportsCenter commercials. Those are some classics.

Wow that is surprise. Stuart, along with Rich Eisen and Boomer made that network in the early days with those ridiculous commercials. "Not now Chris, I'm a busy man ..."

Had a feeling this was coming soon as he admitted having some kidney and liver failure issues back during the Jimmy V award presentation. This is very very sad I know for his daughters and wife. May he enjoy the Blessings of Heaven. Mr Scott, you will be missed by the sports community but mostly by those I'm sure who knew you best and who you inspired with the way you lived your life. May God comfort your family.

Scott brought a less formal, less stodgy vibe to sports broadcasting. He broadcasted in a way like regular people talk instead of sounding like a robot, and changed the way sports broadcasting was done. His humor and approach to broadcasting made it more entertaining, and probably is a huge part of why ESPN is the juggernaut that it is now.

Like he said he didn't lose to cancer, he fought it bravely till the end. Good way to look at it. It's something I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Stu & Rich were at the height of what is, without question, the best pairing of anchors ever on SC
Agreed. Out of all the great pairings over the years, NONE of them were as good as Stu and Rich. They truly spoiled us for years and I still wont watch local sports coverage just because I'm so used to SC now.

Him being a Carolina alum is like a double whammy.
