im not one to get too upset over celebrity deaths, but this one really bums me out. i wasnt even that huge of a stuart scott fan over the last decade or so, but he was such a big part of my childhood and maybe im just getting old but man this sucks. he always seemed like a really good guy and all of the reactions from his colleagues today seem to prove that. so sad.

I hear ya. I used to watch sportscenter on repeat from like 9am-12pm during summers in the 90s when I was out of school even though it was the exact same show played 3 times. At first it was "The Big Show" with Patrick and Olberman, but then new guys like Stuart Scott, Rich Eisen and Scott Van Pelt came to the forefront and became part of my daily viewing through high school, college, post college, etc. I know a lot of people hated him and his style but for someone my age, I loved it, he seemed much younger and more in touch with my generation than Patrick and Olberman. I rarely go out of my way to watch sportscenter these days, but occasionally it will come on after watching a game on ESPN, and those familiar voices are always there, Berman, Scott, Levy, etc. Now one of those voices that I've been hearing for 20 years is gone. I think that's part of the reason why Scott's death hit harder for some like me than other celebrity deaths. Robin Williams you see in a movie a couple times a year, but Scott, even in the later years was one of the people you always saw and heard on SportsCenter.

Yeah, I had honestly been pretty tired of Scott's shticks for a while, but he's just such a key part of when I lived and breathed ESPN that it made the news that much more depressing.

Mike Spellman, the Daily Herald's Chicago Blackhawks expert and the creator of the Spellman's Scorecard column, died unexpectedly Tuesday.

 

The cause of death is unconfirmed but he appeared to have suffered a heart attack. Today would have been his 51st birthday.

Sounds like Mannelly is stepping down and either McNeil comes back or they scrap it and bring over @thekapman and Haugh.

I don't see any of those guys coming back. Bernstein would spontaneously combust of Kap and/or Haugh got hired and I don't think the executives at the Score trust McNeil to finish any contract he signs.

My guess is that Mannelly is stepping down to make room for someone specifically. A radio guy perhaps...that has been in the industry a while and he feels like he's taking some "radio guy's" spot. Ben Finfer maybe?
