Keith Olbermann reflects on his time with Stuart Scott (video)

Posted Jan 6, 2015
The outpouring of support following Stuart Scott's death on Sunday has been everything it should be. Scott was the driving force in the rise of ESPN's mainstream popularity in the 1990s, and his delivery changed how highlight packages were presented. Keith Olbermann was one of the people who helped Scott pave the way for 24/7 sports intake, and along with Scott and Suzy Kolber, helped launch ESPN2. (Sporting News)
