We’re all mourning the loss of ESPN anchor Stuart Scott but one person in particular is feeling the hurt. Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen shared the SportsCenter desk and became the most memorable duo in not only the history of the show but the network period. During NFL Gameday on the NFL Network, Eisen said goodbye to his dear friend. In addition to Eisen, Hannah Storm, Keyshawn Johnson and others also bid emotional farewell to their friend.
Here’s Hannah Storm emotionally announcing the death of Stuart Scott:
“I loved this man. I still love this man, and the fact that he has passed away is absolutely mind-boggling, and a travesty. He battled cancer as bravely as anybody else, and I know there are many people out there who are battling cancer right now… Stuart would want you to know to keep fighting, and that he didn’t lose his battle with cancer. He fought it as bravely as he possibly could. And as you go to bed tonight, flip your pillow over to the cool side, and before you go to sleep — as Stuart would say, when you hit your knees tonight — and pray to the big man for his beautiful daughters who he loved, Taelor and Sydni.” – Rich Eisen
Keyshawn Johnson also spoke on his memories of Scott and was unable to control the tears. He also pointed out that Scott opened the door for African-Americans who wanted to work in TV but didn’t want to hide their real personalities.
Remembering Stuart Scott, here’s ESPN’s amazing tribute.
