      May my comment lift yours above the cesspool of trollery above. Sweet, clever and economical. Well done.

    Most of the ESPN team has been in or close to tears this morning. RIP Stuart.

      Very sad but moving retrospective on Stuart's life on the show this morning. Amazing guy, terribly sad day for sports :(

      Yeah, I nearly teared up watching the coverage and the retrospectives. Rich Eisen on the NFL Network had a pretty touching tribute as well.

      Trailblazing Senator dies? Give him a little snippet. Guy who made a living announcing sports highlights dies? Long piece on two sites.

      Not to take away from the sadness of Scott's passing, but those are some fucked up priorities.

        I don't understand, is this considered long because it has 2 pictures?

        Counterpoint: A 95-year-old man, out of public office for twenty-five years, passes away in sad, but unsurprising, development. A forty-nine year-old man, very much in the public eye as a founding anchor on ESPN2, dies after very public seven-year-battle with cancer.

        By the way, Stuart Scott's death is the top news story on Boston.com, ahead of Ed Brooke's passing.

      49 is too young. My condolences to his daughters.

          That obituary you linked to on ESPN.com is excellent.

            I grew up watching Stuart Scott on espn. He was my all time favorite espn anchor. None of the anchors they have now could hold a candle to SS. Now they hold candles for him. He did what he loved. Condolences to his family.

            "Every man dies. But not every man truly lives."

            Stuart Scott truly lived.

              When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live.

              Thank-you for including this video and that quote, Brendan. It's an important message and a powerful one, too, so here's hoping obituary- and tribute-writers bear this in mind, in future and perhaps in Stuart Scott's honour.

              P.S. Despite not being familiar with Stuart Scott — am neither an American nor an ESPN subscriber — I'm having a pretty easy time understanding why he meant so much to so many.
