ESPN feels the loss of Stuart Scott

When anchor Hannah Storm announced during the 9 a.m. hour of “SportsCenter” that longtime ESPN personality Stuart Scott had died Sunday morning after a long battle with cancer, her poignant words, delivered while fighting back tears, were the first confirmation his colleagues were not prepared to say goodbye even as the network had prepared a goodbye.
“Those of us here at ESPN fortunate enough to work with Stuart saw how he lived,’’ said Storm. “And in the past seven years, as he fought cancer, we saw why he lived. For his daughters, Taelor and Sydni. And so today we choose not to say that Stuart lost to cancer at the age of 49. Instead, we’ll simply say we all lost Stuart.”
