Stuart Scott Obviously Feels Better


Wow, that "ESPN the Weekend" sure looks like it was fun. Here's Stuart Scott getting all Chuck D on the karaoke mic with proper S1W accompaniment by Charles Barkley playing the role of Flavor Flav and, hmm, Mr. Belding from "Saved By The Bell" obviously filling Professor Griff's giant shoes.

Media Approval Ratings: Stuart Scott

Last week, The New Republic, in a post about Sen. Barack Obama calling into a Philadelphia sports talk radio station, unleashed the following groaner: More »

A spy on the NBA on ESPN Christmas Day media conference call informs us that Stuart Scott is returning to the air tomorrow night but will undergo chemotherapy for colon cancer this winter. Expect a podcast on ESPN.com from Stu later today. We wish him well.
(UPDATE: Scott does not have colon cancer: The chemotherapy being done is preventative. Full release right here.)

Stuart Scott Will Bring Peace To The World Of Rap

One can think of no one better to mediate the feud between 50 Cent and Kanye West than Stuart Scott ... except of course Conan O'Brien, or Daulerio. Both have albums coming out on Sept. 11, and Fiddy, as the kids call him, said that he will retire if Kanye's Graduation outsells his Curtis. The two will square off on the Sept. 11 episode of BET's 106 & Park, and Scott will be present to, well, I'm not sure. More »

How Do You Spell "P-L-E-A-S-E L-O-R-D G-O-D S-T-O-P T-A-L-K-I-N-G?"

Sometimes we wonder if we are too hard on ESPN. Sure, collectively, they seem to have sucked the very life out of sports, packaging schtick and corporate pablum into a stew of impossible-to-digest soulless muck. (And, unlike the rest of us, they mix metaphors!) But they're still just individuals, out there doing a job, trying to make a living, navigating this crazy planet like the rest of us. We should cut them some slack. Right? Right? More »

May Stuart Scott Leave Your Mother The Hell Alone This Evening

Mother's Day will soon have come and gone, but there's still time to relive one of the all-time greatest mother moments in sports history. Carmelo Anthony's mother, overcome with emotion, beaming with pride as her son lives his proudest moment ... and Stuart Scott antagonizing her with a microphone. What's going through her mind, Stu? Something like, "get away from me," I'd wager. More »

Stuart Scott Truly Loves His Hos

While a guest on "Mike and Mike In The Morning" — one's gay! one's fat! hijinks ensue! — Stuart Scott, as reported by The Fanhouse, wanted to make it clear that when calls you a ho, he's doing it out of love. More »

If The NBA All-Stars All Have Pink Eye This Week, You'll Know Why

In a roundup of odd and confusing photos from the NBA All-Star Game last weekend, Leave The Man Alone found this unfortunately closeup photo of Stuart Scott. More »

Stuart Scott Is Ready To Kick Some Mustache Ass

The Big Lead has a fun wrapup of media party-related stories from the Super Bowl — which was Sunday, by the way — and we enjoyed this one considerably. More »

Daulerio at SBXL: Alex Brown Goes Back to Bourbon Street; Stuart Scott Attempts To Jack Himself Up

Deadspin "correspondent" AJ Daulerio is filing dispatches from the Super Bowl all week. Last night, he hit the motherlode. This is the final of his three tales from a crazed night. More »

People Actually Lamer Than Stuart Scott Rip On Stuart Scott

The toolsheds pictured here are members of a "band" called Something To Ponder, and they, uh, do some sort of funk rap folk music, the type of thing that we listen to and ponder, oh, the end of civilization. But that could just be us. More »

Stuart Scott, Out Of The Pool

So here's the strangest thing we've seen in a while (or at least since yesterday): Someone on eBay is selling an 11-inch-by-14-inch framed matted photo of Stuart Scott pouting on a tricycle. More »

David Blaine And Stuart Scott: Perfect Together

If you're the type of person who tunes in half because you think it's a part of the national conversation and half because there was a chance David Blaine would die a violent death on national television and you didn't want to miss it, you might have noticed that the host of Blaine's "look at me, I've got PRUNE hands!" self-aggrandizing special last night was none other than ... ESPN "SportsCenter" anchor Stuart Scott. He's apparently ABC/ESPN's go-to guy for coverage of live pseudo-events. More »

Today In Ombudsman History

As always, we giggle with anticipation for ESPN ombudsman George Solomon's monthly "OK, so, you guys are kind of a disgrace to American journalism, but hey, we're all friends here, and besides, sports are fun!" ombudsman column for ESPN, and this month's entry has all the usual limp admonishments, with questions about "Bonds on Bonds," a dopey nudge at Tony Kornheiser and, our favorite, a tender hand slap at Stuart Scott for his soul-destroying poetry slams. Scott defends the "poems" by saying, "the reading of poetry is an African-American thing — expressing emotion," and we agree; no one better represents the plight of African-Americans than Stuart Scott. We therefore apologize for stabbing ourselves in the face everytime he does one. More »

One Depressing Sports Weekend

We don't mean to overstate this, but Saturday was a disappointing an evening for college basketball as we can remember. It's not just that George Mason lost to Florida, or even that they lost so convincingly. Their legend had been secured simply by making it to Indianapolis at all; any mid-major who makes the Sweet 16 for the next 10 years will be asked if they can "pull a George Mason." More »

Dan Le Batard Horrifies You The Most

Congratulations to Dan Le Batard, who you say has the most terrifying ESPN: The Magazine mugshot. It was a tight race, with Le Batard — who was joking about the mugshots and this poll on his radio show yesterday, quoting from several of our great commenters — edging out Stuart Scott (who actually got our vote).
