Huh? He’s one of the biggest names ESPN ever had.

Hasn’t been on the air much the last 5 years or so due to cancer....but 1993 through maybe 2008 or 9 he hosted all the big shows and did some other work as well.

Heywood Hale Broun stlyed sports reporters are a thing of the past. I enjoyed his commentary. I enjoyed Scott’s style too.

I didn’t recognize his name, but I did recognize his face when I looked for it. I thought he did a good enough job at ESPN. I’m not much into award shows of any kind, but he gave a heartfelt speech at the Espys earlier this year. If you have 15 minutes to spare, here’s the whole thing. If not, maybe let it load and then fast forward to about half way, where he starts his speech. I was touched.
