i think he got a little full of himself once he made it but i'll always remember him fondly when he was part of what made sportscenter fun through the 90's. way too young to go though.

I think the best way to put W-Z, he was good during the 90's, then when ESPN started to make more friends with the athletes, he started to go downhill.

Was never a huge fan but his speech at this years ESPY's was incredible. As moving as any Ive ever heard and certainly the equal of Valvano's if not better.

Supposedly he was set up by the Jets receivers....first time catching balls from the machine and they had him line up too close or something.

And if your eye got poked out in this life
Would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife?

Dunno, Scott's own recounting of the incident matches that completely except for not noting that the other receivers either told him to line up too close or didn't warn him that he was too close:

Quote:
Jugs Machine it is....

Stuart Scott was asked what happened during an interview.

Q. Back in the spring, you sustained a severe eye injury while filming a story about football minicamps with the Jets. Tell us what happened.

I had gotten in shape and (Jets coach) Herman Edwards gave me permission to go to minicamp with them. I was doing a feature for ESPN on what it’s like to be in minicamp. But I was serious about it.

The day I was there, there were eight wideouts and the wide receiver coach said I was rated number six. I didn’t have any delusions of grandeur. I was hoping I’d be good enough to be a scrub wide receiver or a practice wide receiver in the NFL. I found that out that day. I didn’t disappoint myself and I didn’t embarrass myself.

At end of practice all the wideouts went to the Jugs Machine, it’s a machine that shoots balls out. I had never done that before. I had been catching everything that day in practice from the quarterbacks. I was probably a little close and the thing was fast and the thing was faster than I thought it was.

Q. The ball, coming out of the machine, hit you square in the left eye. How bad was it?

It was serious. I had emergency surgery that night and was out of work for a couple months. It was tough. I had some eye surgery before so I knew how severe it was. It was probably more scary that day, not knowing. The next day came and I knew it would be a long recovery back. I still need some more surgery. The eye is not great now. But I had some time off.

Yeah I imagine given his career he could have sued for a ton. I also found odd I had to search a dozen articles to see his cancer was an odd appendix cancer.

How soon will Bernstein shit all over Stu? I'm guessing either on twitter sometime today, or on the show tomorrow.

He'll probably do the opposite.
He'll pretend like he never used the term "Boy Yah Network" in a derogatory fashion.

He hasn't commented at this time...too busy with his Sunday morning crossword circle jerk.

RIP...I always looked at him as the poster child for a lot of what made me hate ESPN...not as much as Berman, but the BooYah stuff was just annoying...that said...

No one should have to go the way he did, and 49 is way too young.
