He died after a sevenyear battle with cancer. He continued to do Sports Center while undergoing surgery, chemoand radiation. He opened up against his battle with cancer at the espy awards. 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. Moments of silence honoring stuart scott took place before sporting events throughout the day yesterday and part of espns tribute was leaving a chair on its set empty for stuart. Stuart and i worked together at espn in the mid to late 90s. Our kids played together birthday parties on the swings at the park together so this is a huge loss personally. What a lot of people dont know is that it wasnt always cool being stuart scott especially for stuart scott. He faced a lot of resistance in the early days because you know what, nobody was doing highlights while singing a rap lyric or making tupac references or talking about biggy smalls. It wasnt universally loved and a few of us tried to suggest you know, maybe you ought to tone it down a little bit and you know what ama . We were all absolutely wrong. Stuart developed a style that resonated with young viewers, especially young black kids, and from the moment he uttered the first booya he exploded from just another sportscaster on the set and he became a pop culture celebrity. I knew when my 8yearold nephew was running around the house yelling booya, booya, stuart scott was on to something big. He was a pioneer with a style that will always be unique. I saw him at the super bowl in new orleans almost two years ago. We talked about his cancer. He actually felt great at the time. His attitude was truly amazing. He vowed that cancer would never get him, would just be another obstacle, would never define him. I was stunned when i heard the news yesterday morning. I knew the cancer had come back and we had heard from some friends that it had gotten bad but i was convinced, his conviction was so strong i was convinced he would beat it every time. 49 is way too young to lose a man of his stature and stuart may be gone, his legacy will live on with all of us forever. We are sorry for his loss and your loss. Its really sad. Its very sad. If you are feeling the flu coming along, you are not alone.
