RIP Stuart Scott

[Craig Mac]

Sad news as one of the true SportsCenter greats lost his battle with cancer. He was one of the reasons I enjoyed watching highlights with his commentary.

Just about to post this also. Sad day..... Too young

He made Sportscenter cool for me with the catchphrases and hip hop references. From the outpouring I'm seeing on social media seems he did the same for a lot of people. RIP

Spent a lot of mornings getting ready for school/work listening to Stuart in the background. He had a unique style and was a true innovator in the way sports highlights were shown on TV.

Gone way too soon... RIP Stuart

Obviously he touched a lot of people. Man was an inspiration. Fuck Cancer.

10-4. Cancer sucks, and it doesn't give a shit who you are

He was "as cool as the other side of the pillow". One of my ESPN favorite, sad day indeed..

Was the first thing I saw online today... so sad! Fucking cancer. I didn't see the ESPY's this year and just now watched some of his speech... I feel for his family and daughters. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Terribly sad.

Sucks. For people my age he's been the face of SportsCenter basically the whole time I've watched it.

Wow. Tremendous loss to the world of sports as we know it.

One of the greats. Sad day!
