Tears, tributes for Tar Heel Stuart Scott

Posted Jan 7, 2015
Stuart Scott wasn't just a sportscaster, he was a communicator. Through his 21-year ESPN career, he brought the nightly highlights home with a style that had never been seen before. Oh, he wasn't the first to jazz up videos of home run calls and touchdown runs. But, Scott spoke to a younger, more hip demographic and his impact was felt from NBA and NFL locker rooms all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. (WRAL Sports Fan)
