I remember when he came on the scene on ESPN. He revolutionized the station.

RIP Stu.

RIP. He cut out his own schtick and while I don't know if I was on board with it, there's no denying his impact in the industry.

Very sad. Makes me feel bad that I hated him so much.

sad he's gone, but he and his cohorts ushered in the era of anchors being characters or personalities with trademark catchphrases and schtick, not journalists.

I actually think Berman and his ridiculous routine preceded Scott's. Scott just ghetto'ed the whole sports reporting gig.

I hate Berman and Tom Jackson way more than I hated Stu.

RIP, Scott.

Lol I'd say he more adjusted it for the younger generation rather than ghetto'd. But I get what you mean.

He made the boring highlights entertaining, IMO. Was a figure head for ESPN. RIP.

Should've been Stephan A.
