Fifteen minutes of straight tears and goosebumps. Boo yah!

In all seriousness Stuart Scott was a legend and played an important role in bringing SportsCenter the level of success it has today.

He made it cool. Sure I found him annoying sometimes but I respected his delivery. He was a star from the get go making phrases like "as cool as the other side of the pillow" famous (yeah that was him who came up with that).

SportsCenter in the '90s might have been my favorite show. Patrick, Olbermann, Kilborn, Eisen, and Scott; the best of the best. I used to watch it ad nauseam; the same episodes and highlight packages over and over again. (Maybe I was hoping the outcome of all those Red Sox games would change.)

I used to tell time by which number of SportsCenters I had watched. This is my 5th time watching it so it's almost 11:00 a.m.

RIP Stuart Scott. The 'Big Buddy' program will never be the same.
