Stuart Scott, the ESPN anchor, passed away this morning after multiple long battles with cancer. He was a great anchor and overall seemed like a great person. He had an amazing speech last year when he received the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPYs, second to only Jimmy Valvano's original. If you get a chance, watch his speech and read the article about him on ESPN, both are incredible. RIP

He was also fantastic in all of his This is Sportscenter commercials. This was one of my favorites-

All of his SC commercials. So sad, he was one of the great anchors on ESPN, his ESPY speech last year was incredible, pretty sure I cried.

Hugs and Handpounds.

Of all the sports radio and tv and bullshit I've listened to since this young mans passing not a single person has mentioned his sign off phrase.

RIP Stu, I'm sure there's no shortage of either of those up there.

I teared up a little during the speech. He leaves us with an inspirational story.
