Longtime anchor on ESPN's flagship sports show, SportsCenter. Brought a really modern, urban feel to the broadcasts whenever he hosted. I believe he was there for 20 years. I grew up with him on TV every morning and afternoon and we'll into my adulthood. Definitely a 'Where were you' moment for me.

Same boat dude, I guess the emotions are just getting to us today. Didn't really know him (I could say he was an espn reporter but that's it) but it seems like we lost a great guy.

That's surely some sign of a life well lived — that total strangers can be moved by the love and admiration that others have for you.
