They need a few minutes to put something together for it anyway. I was going to say, it's not like they can really just blurt in with something about Cam's accident. Unless there's an Charlotte ABC feed or something? they're kind of limited as to what they can provide.

I like Brad Nessler fine but I am surprised he was working the Sugar Bowl. I'd love for Joe Tessitore to get more plum assignments but they've saddled him with Matt loving Millen for the foreseeable future.

But then I suppose they couldn't claim ratings records by doing that. On the other hand, I doubt those numbers include the amount of people that watched on the WatchESPN app, which was enough to straight up break the app for about 2 hours during the Rose Bowl.

ESPN sucks at breaking and they were getting their reporting on it from ABC which meant the original reporting loop went abc affiliate->abc network->espn desk->espn anchor talking on tv. I cut out about 7 intermediary steps but it is a miracle anything gets on tv, ever.

They never said it, but you could read between the lines. I was never a fan of his anchoring on SportsCenter, but from everything I've heard he was a great man and an even better father. Rest in peace, sir.

One of my favorites from the 'Golden Age' of ESPN anchors in the '90s. Watched him all the time in the morning as a kid before going to school. Sucks he had to go so young.

Stuart Scott came to one of our football games when I was at UNC and I remember him doing push-ups every time we scored. He had to do a push-up for every total point after a score, and it was a pretty high scoring game. I guess it was his thing because I read an article about him doing more push-ups elsewhere. If I was at his funeral that is the story I would tell.

Yep, Stuart Scott will always take me right back to 4th grade, watching Sportscenter before school and discussing all of the highlights and catchphrases with my buddies. His excessive enthusiasm did start to wear on me as I got older, but honestly, I think that says more about me than it does him. RIP Stu

I remember seeing Stuart on WRAL back in the day and when he got to ESPN, I thought it was cool to see the local guy hit the big time. It was kind of a big deal for me to hear a guy on Sportscenter talking the way my friends and I would talk to each other. It didn't sound like a guy being told by his producers to be more "urban", it was real. Thanks for keeping it real, Stu.

Jesus Christ, Hanna Storm is anchoring SportsCenter right now and she (understandably) looks like poo poo from crying. All I want to do is give the poor woman a hug and tell her it's going to be ok.

Scott Van Pelt's eyes are all red and you can tell he's been crying a lot. I didn't even know he had cancer. This really sucks, he was definitely one of the more fun folks doing stuff at ESPN.

They're going to do a moment of silence for him at the Colts Bengals game, that is pretty incredible. Class act by the Colts, really shows how much he was loved by everybody.

I'd stop well short of "devastating," but this news has hit me pretty hard. Had two parents pass from cancer before 60, so I know what the disease does to the individual and to the family and friends. I'm in the same boat as a lot of others, that I can't count the days I watched Stu on SportsCenter while eating breakfast before school. The only reason people ever treated him like a meme was because he always came with energy, focus and a very certain and legitimate swagger day after day. Can't be mad at that.

Very odd to think that I felt as though Scott represented a lot of what was changing and hurting ESPN. I.E. The transition from a news reporting place to entertainment place. I grew up watching sportscenter and when I skipped or was home in the summer I'd watch it 4 times in a row in the morning. I was surprised how sad this made me. But I think it shows how ESPN was and still is a part of my life. And having a guy like Scott in no small way be part of my life for the past couple decades.

Rich Eisen and Stuart Scott anchored my formative years as a sports fan. Stuart's impact goes so much farther than that. I lost my dad at 21 and it sucked. I can't imagine what his two teenage girls are going through.

Cancer can get bent, and Stuart Scott went from being someone I slightly enjoyed to someone I greatly admired and respected with how he handled cancer and the more I learned about him as a family man. RIP, Stu.

He was actually on the VH1 "I love the.." shows I was quite addicted to, and he was actually one of the funniest people on there. The one I remember the most fondly was him making fun of Marge Schott. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snkqd7P38GI&t=5m35s
