Why ESPN's Stuart Scott Has a Messed Up Eye

I would say it is pretty safe to say that most of you degenerates on bleacherreport watch ESPN and SportsCenter an on a regular basis.  Some of you filthy degenerates probably watch the 3,4,5, and 6am shows thinking maybe that top ten will change or that tool-bag Tim Kurkjian has a different take on his report of guys who have the most career strikeouts in the 7th inning, vs. lefthander pitchers born after 1985.  With that, only the degenerates of all degenerates know why Stuart Scott’s right eye is so messed up compared to his left eye.

Scott, the North Carolina Alum, who has many catch phrases from “cool as the other side of the pillow” and “Can I get a witness from the congregation?” has been a SportsCenter anchor since 1995.

Scott’s eye is the way it is because he decided to put the cape on back in 2002 at the New York Jets training camp. Then Jets head coach, Herman Edwards, invited Scott onto the field.  Instead of watching the action from sideline like any non-athlete should do, Scott decided it would be cool to participate in some drills.  Sure, one of the best perks of working for ESPN is going to events that most fans can only dream of or watch form afar.  So, Scott decides to do some wide receiver drills.

In the drill where the jug machine shoots balls out and receivers have their back to the machine, most turn around quickly and catch the ball. Unfortunately for Scott, he has hands worse than Ohio St. and Oakland Raider tight end Ricky Dudley. Scott wore the ball right off the eye. He needed to get it removed and that is why he has a glass eye.

I’m not trying to dog Scott too hard because he is battling cancer right now but, come on, if you’re not a NFL player, get off the field.  Have your dreams like all the fans you talk to each and every night, just don't try to live them out.
