December 23, 200421 yr ESPN needs to get the brutha off the TV cause his eyes are gettin' to be waaaaaay too distracting. I'm no hater, but the guy's eyes are way too off and its just bugging me at this point.
December 23, 200421 yr Author Yea same here, what happend to those things? 641228[/snapback] I have no clue. He's always been a bit crosseyed in his right eye. But as time has gone on it looks like he is always squinting with his left eye, so it just looks... bad. I don't know if he might be partially blind in the left eye or what, but he is just always squinting with that eye half closed and when he looks right into the camera I get distracted. Not cool.
December 23, 200421 yr I heard he got hit in the eye with a football while doing a piece for redskins training camp.

December 23, 200421 yr Author Acctually I just googled up "Stuart Scott's eyes" and something came up about some serious eye injury he got a NYJ training camp and had surgery.

December 23, 200421 yr Author ESPN sportscaster, Stuart Scott, nearly lost his left eye when he was working out with the New York Jets. Scott, a former semi-pro player doesn't remember what happened exactly but the football that struck him split his cornea and lens. This injury was especially scary, as years earlier, Scott had sustained a detached retina in his right eye and counted on the 20/20 vision in his left eye to see well. He was catching balls out of one of those machines and missed one and it caught him in the eye. :thumbdown
December 23, 200421 yr Author I feel bad for him, but maybe a radio job would be better suited for him. Or wear sunglasses.... or a really shiny gold chain to take attention away from bug-eyed-ness. He has to know it is distracting. Now I am wondering how he reads the teleprompter if he was relying on his left eye before taking a ball to it.
December 23, 200421 yr I meant to post a topic on this the other day. Seriously I personally like the guy. But his eyes are so distracting. Somehow they are getting worse and worse. I'ts awful
December 23, 200421 yr Author ESPN should be inventive and make him a commentator for some sport, something that doesn't have him on the screen 45 minutes during an hour. He is good at what he does, its just bothersome. He just needs to make sure never to give a commencemnt speech again. You can google up a commencent speech he gave at UNC a few years ago.... very... very weak.

December 23, 200421 yr did he finish it off saying "and as you go out into the world.... BOO-YA!" ? :banghead
December 23, 200421 yr Author I know what he should do! He shoulda taken over for Dan Rather and ended every telecast with "Boo-ya!"
December 23, 200421 yr :lol Its so wierd this thread is on here.....me and some of the guys in my sociology class were talking about his "creep eyes" for like 20 minutes in class the other day! They really bug me too....but not enough that I wouldnt want him on there anymore..i really like the dude
December 23, 200421 yr or have dan rather say BOO YA now that i would watch. i always wondered what was up with his eye, i figured it was some birth defect.

December 23, 200421 yr it's been this way for years ... it's always bugged me him and cohn are my least favorite on espn i can't stand stuart scott .. he isn't young, he isn't up to date and he is annoying
December 23, 200421 yr All Scott's phrases are old too. If he and Cohn leave, I'd like it. I've always said James Bates (Jim's son) would be great on Sportscenter
December 23, 200421 yr James Bates? The former Gator LB who now is the host of that Gator Sports Show on Sunshine?
