I always liked Stuart Scott. He changed sportscasting journalism with his very energetic approach unlike a typical news anchor who lacked enthusiasm.
This is a big loss not just for ESPN but for anyone who ever watched Sportscenter for years in general. Fuck Cancer! RIP!
Always looked to me like he had had a stroke. One of his eyes, the right I believe, looked fucked up.
"Scott was injured when hit in the face by a football during a New York Jets mini-camp on April 3, 2002, while filming a special for ESPN, a blow which damaged his cornea.[14] He received surgery but afterwards suffered from ptosis, or drooping of the eyelid."Originally Posted by herbertstemple
What kind of cancer did he have?
Bad beat to die from cancer at 49.
He was diagnosed at age 42.
think it was something in his abdomen...
fucking bitch of it was he had it three times...I mean that's insane...
Jesus
Not only does a guy get cancer, but he tries fighting it for 7 freakin years...and still loses.
RIP
He had an appendectomy and it was something around there, a pretty rare form of cancer.
The beginning of this article written by him a couple years ago was foretelling in a creepy way now.

Wasn't a huge fan of his on Sportscenter but he was an icon. Really thought he was good at hosting pre and post games though. Tough beat, the guy was a warrior

"Some outlets have reported that Scott never revealed the exact type of cancer he was fighting, which is false — but for years he was cagey about the details. When the New York Times did a profile on Scott and how he coped with the disese, he would only say that his cancer had not spread beyond where it was found, and that it was not colon cancer. He wouldn’t let a doctor speak about his condition either. Finally, in an article for Men’s Health Scott wrote that he had appendiceal cancer, a “very rare form” of the disease. Indeed, appendiceal cancer is extremely rare, affecting 600-1,000 Americans each year, just a fraction of the millions of diagnosed cases. It’s a gastrointestinal carcinoid tumor, which are more common in African Americans than in other races, and slightly more common in women than in men. Outcomes are “not as good” for African Americans, and researchers don’t yet know why. More than 85 percent of patients with carcinoid tumors of the appendix have a five-year survival rate, yet Scott lived nearly twice as long."
