The loss of a broadcasting icon

[Archammer]

Stuart Scott passed away this morning. Most of you know that he has battled cancer for many years, and now that final round has ended. I grew up with Stuart Scott in my ear, and boo-yow was part of my vernacular.

ESPN did a fantastic legacy story on him, and rather than share the news stories, of his death, I thought I would share this wonderful video ESPN did about his life.

No idea who that is.

I was flying today when I first heard the news - it really bummed me out. Sportcenter was one of those shows that I always had on during my college days, and as such I kind of grew up listening to Stuart.

I watched the very first broadcast of SPORTSCENTER, and pretty much, watched it every single day after, for about 20 years, until it got tired, and stilted.

Stuart Scott was one of good ones. Always professional, but he could be fun, have fun, see the fun, explain why it was fun, and still remain a pro.
