Longtime ESPN anchor Stuart Scott died Sunday morning, and the tributes were vast and rich. But no one more accurately captured Scott's brand of manic, catchphrase-heavy sportscasting than Scott's longtime friend Rich Eisen.
Hours after delivering a poignant tribute to Scott, Eisen laced his evening highlights package with vintage Stuart Scott lines. It was great stuff, only slightly marred by Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin not being able to contain themselves and keep quiet. (Yes, he IS doing a Stuart Scott tribute. Let him do it.)
A fitting sendoff to one of sports broadcasting's notables. Great work by Eisen.
