Sometimes you can't control emotions.

Rip Stuart Scott fresh out of the ESPN shop. One of the best.

 

[RellyRell28]

NFL Network even broke the new. Cross station respect.

NFL Network even broke the new. Cross station respect.

Half of the guys on nfl network and the mlb network came from espn.

 

[Kave_Man]

Damn not what you want to wake up to.

RIP Stuart Scott.

That's true I almost forgot Irvin was on ESPN for a little. I completely for got until that tribute video that Eisen worked there.

 

[VeryGooster]

Literally woke up to the news. What a bummer. RIP

 

[Diablos]

RIP.

Does anyone really think having Bell in last night's game against Baltimore would have made a difference?

I think Pittsburgh cracked under pressure. They started to wake up a bit in the late 3rd/early 4th quarter but it was too little, too late.

I am really disappointed, they had such a rough start but started really kicking some ass so I'm kind of surprised they had a showing that was basically no different than how they started out this season.

 

[Arc]

Super bummed to hear about Stuart Scott. I used to watch Sports Center daily as a kid and now I feel like a piece of my childhood is gone

 

[beast786]

RIP stu

You always been cool like other side of the pillow

 

[jakncoke]

RIP.

Of course top 5 rb vs tate and a undrafted rookie.

 

[brentech]

Of course top 5 rb vs tate and a undrafted rookie.

Not to mention Tate fumbled, and dropped a pass that turned into a pick.

 

[WedgeX]

I do not expect the Lions to win today. But I hope they make a good show of it.

 

[Bowser]

RT @MarkZinno Cam Newton wearing a tuxedo in his postgame press conference is a CLEAR reminder that he just doesn’t get it

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Yep.

Rich Eisen and Stu Scott were probably one of the GOAT sports TV anchor combos on Sportscenter in the 90s.

 

[Diablos]

Yes, I know. But the entire team just seemed off even for plays that Bell would have nothing to do with. Defense was atrocious too.
Ravens were in lockstep.

 

[RellyRell28]

Matt Ryan on NFL Countdown :jnc

 

[ConradCervantes]

Rest in piece, Stuart. He was one of my favorites on the network.

 

[beast786]

Dallas by 2TD

It's the 2nd best team we will face all year ( behind NE) . Such a proficient balance attack with romo 34TD and only 9int , and DM with the best running attack in the planet. On the road

 

[friskykillface]

RIP stu scott, loved him on sportscenter, always good
fuck cancer

 

[Dutch Gronk]

What the fuck.

Rip

 

[Dr_LawyerCop]

RIP Stewart Scott. Man, this sucks. He seemed to have the worst luck when it came to his health. Just couldn't catch a break.

 

[Bowser]

Charles Johnson said in an interview last night they took his grandmother off life support before the game yesterday. Jesus fuck I can't imagine playing with that knowledge.

[eznark]

StuScott tried to fight me at a club in Scottsdale once in 2003 after the eye injury when I threw a napkin over his head and yelled catch.

RIP StuScott

 

[ShaneB]

Just seeing the news here in this thread terrible stuff

 

[Grover Cleveland]

RT @MarkZinno Cam Newton wearing a tuxedo in his postgame press conference is a CLEAR reminder that he just doesn’t get it

It's clear that Cam has more people that just don't like him at a personal level than any other player in the league (barring Rice,Peterson,etc). They will fish for any and every reason to discredit him, even nonsense reasons like that.

You don't think he's a great QB? That's fine. I don't think he's a great QB either. I'm not even sure he's consistently good. But criticize for the football then. He "doesn't get it" because of what he wears at postgame press conferences? Fuck outta here with that.

You'd think that Cam killed some of these reporters/analysts' puppies with the level of outside of football hate he gets.

 

[Ricker]

Damn,the first game is at one...? lol,I thought it was the same set-up as yesterday with an evening game...

Go Bengals

[BlackGhost]

Damn stu rip

"Stuart Scott fresh out the espn shop"

 

[FTF]

Damn, just heard the sad news

RIP Stu

 

[Milchjon]

So ESPN had a 15 minute tribute prepared beforehand? Can't imagine they did it today..

I guess it kinda makes sense rationally, but it's still kinda weird.

 

[Tamanon]

I imagine they knew he was close.

 

[eznark]

[Hunter S.]

Shocked the Bengels could not score on the Colts earlier this year. Hoping for a better game than these teams last two one sided games.

 

[Milchjon]

They had a 15 minute tribute? That seems bizarre.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=12118361

Edit: They call SportsCenter "this pristine journalism show"...

 

[Sanjuro]

They gave had this program on ESPN2 going for a while now. Live I assume.

 

[eznark]

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=12118361

Was this broadcast?

According to Twitter, it was.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Yeah. It was done by Robin Roberts.
Still so sad.

 

[eznark]

According to Twitter, it was.

Oh.

Well, they always have tried everything to make themselves the news and Stu was sort of the vanguard of that abysmal transition so it makes sense.

 

[Hunter S.]

The philosophical question must be asked.

Do Colts and Bengals fans exist?

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

RIP.

Bell would have made a huge difference.

Ben had no time. Bell's greatest contribution in the last half of the season is that he acts as a safety valve that Ben can lob it to when the play breaks down. Without Bell the Rats Pass Rush unloaded on Ben with little fear for repercussions. Ben Tate was (for obvious reasons) not up to that task.
