Scorcher Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Loved his speech at the ESPYS last year, very inspirational and touching. Me too, it was very moving. He made me think that he would be here for much longer. I have a lot of respect for his courage and the hope he gave others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.D.Morrison Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I had the pleasure of meeting him several times through at the company holiday party (ESPN) and we happened to chat and walk down the red carpet near each other at last year's ESPYs before his legendary speech. Humorous, outgoing and confident guy. Feel terrible for his kids.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Rookie Me........ Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 He was an original and I for one will miss hearing his voice, but will always remember the smiles he inspired. Good anchor, better person for what I hear of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) He was a dad. Yeah, he said some funny stuff on SportsCenter, and a lot of people loved his schtick (and some hated it), but first and foremost, he was a dad to two young girls. None of the other stuff really matters. As a father of two young kids, this breaks my heart. Whether you loved his schtick or hated it, you have to respect the manner in which he fought his battle against cancer. Top Ten Nine Stuart Scott Quotes (2, 5, and 8 are my favorites): 1. "Every day, I am reminded that our life's journey is really about the people who touch us." 2. "When you die, it does not mean you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live." 3. "So live. Live! Fight like hell. And when you get too tired to fight, then lay down and rest and let somebody else fight for you." 4. "The best thing I've ever done — the best thing I will ever do — is be a dad to Taelor and Sydni. I can't ever give up, because I can't leave my daughters." 5. "I love you guys more than I will ever be able to express. You are my heartbeat." 6. "It feels good to be winded, having trouble breathing, chest hurts [during a workout]... I'm alive." 7. "I never ask what stage I'm in. I haven't wanted to know. It won't change anything to me. All I know is that it would cause more worry and a higher degree of freakout. Stage 1, 2 or 8, it doesn't matter. I'm trying to fight it the best I can." 8. "The most important thing I do is I'm a dad." 9. "Every day, I fight." Edited January 9, 2015 by Gopher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
