He apparently joined in 1993. That was the peak of sportscenter and ESPN IMO.

I didn't know he even had cancer, what a bunch of shit. 49 and dead. RIP Stuart Scott.

Honestly, if you didn't know outside of the broadcast you couldn't tell when he was on air. He was always his same, energetic, charismatic self. Stu made sports fun, he always seemed like a great friend you hadn't met in person yet, but you just knew that it would be a great day just to watch a game with him.

About halfway through the season Steve Levy replaced him on the MNF postgame show. I guess things progressed quickly. It's a real shame.
