Never have I wanted to crawl through the TV and give someone a comforting hug like I did with Hannah Storm today. That was absolutely heartbreaking to watch her in the brief time she was on TV between segments.

Mashable offered up this headline for Scott: STUART SCOTT: AS COOL AS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PILLOW I suppose which way you take this depends on your sense of humor.

I'm legit surprised by how much the reactions are making me tear up. It's cool to see that he touched so many huge names.

That was absolutely heartbreaking to watch her in the brief time she was on TV between segments. Whenever reporters have to report on themselves like that it seems to happen. I remember reporters struggling to keep it together when Tom Mees died. I can't imagine having to go on TV and report about the death of a friend like that without falling apart terribly.

Also, there was a moment of silence before the Wake Forest/Louisville hoops game tonight, too, since Stu grew up in the Winston area. Happy to see my alma mater do that. If only Stu could call the highlights tomorrow; there were some great ones. Both teams balled out.

I was more of a "Big Show" Sportscenter watcher with KO and DP but I forgot Scott Stuart was sort of in the mix during that time as well. I mean, I remember Eisen and Simmers and Kilby and even Robin Roberts but Stuart either didn't resonate enough or I was all ready at the point when I stopped watching SC regularly. Once NFL Primetime was finished I only tuned to ESPN for live events. True story... After this weekend's ESPN Wild Card game I was watching over at my friend's house Mark Levy or whoever came out and announced that he was filling in for Stuart Scott. It only then struck me as odd... Suzy Kolber has been saying that same line every Monday Night this season and as far as I recalled most of last season too. The next morning the news come down the wire that Stuart Scott had died. I didn't know Stuart Scott was fighting the big fight but I'm a bit slow on picking up on things and like I've said I'm not glued to ESPN anymore because I grew out of the ESPN I once enjoyed and have deplored what it has become since. Stuart Scott brought about the ESPN catchphrases and styles I knew and loved even if he wasn't entirely tattooed to my collective subconscious. The fact this family guy lost his fight and leaves behind children that will miss him greatly is absolutely crushing.

I think younger people who grew up with the internet their whole lives don't realize how big SportsCenter was in the 90's. You had to watch it to find out what was going on in sports. Tons of people woke up to the show every morning before school and work.

It was all I watched in the mornings before going to Middle School, and some kids would even turn it on on the TV in the corner in the library. It was unlike anything we'd ever seen before and it blew our minds.

And if you watched a whole episode you actually saw highlights from nearly every game the night before. Last Monday morning I woke up at the hotel I stayed in after the Steelers game and turned on Sportscenter to see highlights of the game. They spent one hour talking about Rex Ryan being fired. Unreal.

BIll Simmons had Gus Ramsay on his podcast today after the picks with Cousin Sal and they talk about Stu a bit. Got a bit emotional too for Gus. Scott sounded like a real class act.

Big Ten Network's host before the MSU-Indiana game eulogized Scott and was barely holding back tears. It's telling that so many people are so obviously saddened by his death to know what kind of guy he was.

I usually spend about an hour lying in bed listening to Mike & Mike before actually getting up to get ready for work every morning, and after every break today they were coming back, mentioning the news and sharing a story about Stuart. One Greeny told was about how at the Super Bowl, Stuart came upon him and his wife with their four month old and getting a chance to hold and play with her, and the next year running up to the same group and getting on his hands and knees to play with their daughter. Made it pretty clear to me that he was a guy who considered the people he worked with as his family, and their families to be an extension of his.

I never realized how much of an impact he had until this point and looking back on his old clips. I grew up in the 90s completely infatuated with sports and I watched Sportscenter all the time when he and Eisen were probably the best crew to ever grace the show. Seeing Eisen fumble through the announcement was really hard to watch. Looking back, he changed the sports media landscape with all those silly mannerisms and catchphrases, but he also made it more fun. I will never forget watching the Scott/Eisen tandem and thinking about how much fun it must've been to announce highlights and play off each other the way they did.

FlamingLiberal posted:Yeah it was right before the Internet made the show kind of irrelevant, since over time you could watch those clips online instead. But SportsCenter was huge during that time. "Right before" isn't really the right way to say it. The years kind of roll together now, but SportsCenter as people my age probably think about it was THE relevant all-encompassing north american sports show for like 15 years. The 90s through ~2005 or so, probably. For most of that time SC was actually about showing highlights of stuff. I mean, Eisen was there from 96-03 and went right to NFL Network. gently caress, YouTube didn't exist until 2005. People definitely weren't putting up comprehensive highlights before that. gently caress, Rich Eisen's been at NFL Network for over 10 years. Man SportsCenter used to be so good.

Tons of people woke up to the show every morning before school and work. I just wanted to touch back on this, because I'm old but didn't care about any sports until after the internet: SportsCenter is a 24 hour thing now, and while I guess it beats boredom I only put it on as a fallback to the league specific networks. But I got into hockey eventually, and ESPN's attitude toward hockey (don't have broadcast rights to games, so they bury/don't feature it) certainly gave me that "watch an hour for a 20 second blurb" feeling. My interest in basketball is curiosity at best, and I don't like the NFL at all because concussions, so I just watch the league networks, unless like MLB is doing baseball movies or something. ESPN's marketing has to be the most "desperately trying to look cool" brand since Nike, though. When I do watch, it's usually Baseball Tonight, which somehow has resisted most of the modern day image bullshit that leads ESPN into launching branded mobile carriers and colognes over the past decade. Aside from the HD cameras, it's convincingly still 1994 over there. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Feb 1, 2015 |
