Sad News: Longtime ESPN sportscaster Scott dies at 49
Stuart Scott was in his element, working a "Monday Night Football" game, when he was forced to leave for an appendix operation.
Doctors discovered a tumor during surgery and Scott was diagnosed with cancer. But he made a point of continuing to live his life — at work and outside of it.
"You beat cancer by how you live," he would later say. "So live. Live. Fight like hell."
That fight ended Sunday when Scott, the longtime "SportsCenter" anchor and ESPN personality known for his enthusiasm and ubiquity, died at age 49.
