Last night on SportsCenter, Stuart Scott played presidential candidate Barack Obama one on one in hoops.
Stuart got worked by a guy who looked like he had worse hips then Bo Jackson, then he was licking Obama's huevos, and kept saying nice shot.
Stuart, forget that you are playing one the most famous people in the world—compete. Also, Stuart, Obama only has a left—force him right and rip him. Just because he will probably be living in the White House doesn't mean you have to lay down.
If I were playing Obama, I would lock him up on defense. After I blocked his weak floater, I would go Dikembe Mutombo and wag my finger in his face. Then, when I had the rock, I would:
1.) Post him up.
2.) Drop step on him.
3.) Elbow him in the chest
4.) Score
5.) Tell him to get his weak game off the court and fix our country's economy, so I can afford to lose more three team parlays on college football.

Now to the point of this article. I have the answer as to why Stuart was wearing goggles.
(On a side note, Stuart—if you are going to wear goggles can you please wear some Horace Grant on the Magic frames, or Greg Carr on the Jazz, Oakley-style? Don't wear goggles that you look like you found on the racketball court.)
This story is TRUE. I wouldn't be able to make this up.
I would say it is pretty safe to say that most of you degenerates on Bleacher Report watch ESPN and SportsCenter an on a regular basis.
Some of you probably watch the 3, 4, 5, and 6 AM, 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 seventh inning vs. lefthander pitchers born after 1985.
That said, only the degenerates of all degenerates know why Stuart Scott’s right eye is so messed up compared to his left eye.
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 Oakland Raiders 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.

Scott you are a joke. Why would you even waste your time writing about this. I usually am a huge fan of your articles but there is no reason to write an article about stu scotts glass eye.

Well Scott, now you and Stewart Scott have another thing in common besides sharing a name a potentially the same skin color: He had his left eye removed, while you had your left testicle removed. Have a Day Tully! haha

Yes but had to do a update when I saw him last night playing Obama. Looking so gross with goggles.

Obama part = Funny
Stuart Scott part = Informative
I heard that he actually was trying out to be a Jets receiver....that apparently false story made me think he was #1 douchebag on a network full of them. Now I feel sorta sorry for him, especially with the cancer.
from 2 months ago
If he didn't have cancer I would have got on him harder. I have never been a fan of his. Thanks for words.

THis is kinda a dumb article. First off, Obama and Stuart were just playing for TV and fun. You sound like the type of guy that would trash talk to a 5 year old, then dunk on him, and then taunt him.
As for his eye, who cares.
from 2 months ago
Sorry Michael you were the only person who doesn't enjoy the article. I'm sorry you have to pay to use bleacherreport. I know I would be pissed if I had to pay and read crap articles like this. Here is a suggestion Michael, if you don't like the article you don't have to read it.
As for the Obama, get out of here they were just playing around? I thought it was the championship game of a one on one tournament. Are you dumb not to recognize sacracism. Do you really believe I would elbow Obama? Get a clue before you post something stupid again.
And your right if some five year old wanted to play me, I would beat him into the ground and talk crap to him. Oh wait let me warn you Michael, I'm not serious.

tully who you kidding you know you'd dunk on him n make him cry lol

If I'm not mistaken Stuart Scott played football in college at UNC. He was nothing special, but I think he was on the team (or at least tried out). The guy has skills, and he took advantage of being a big name at ESPN to have some fun on the field. It was an unfortunate accident but don't fault him for wanting to have a little fun.
from 2 months ago
Collin, Stuart never played football at UNC or even had a tryout. The guy isn't an athlete and sucks at sports. Why he pisses me off, getting all into athlete's business and he has never played the sport.

Scott had a couple of cornea transplants when he was younger. But, in 2002, Scott had been invited to join in the New York Jets pre-season training camp by head coach Herm Edwards. Scott was filming a story about football minicamps for ESPN. He was struck by a football launched from a Jets football passing machine during receiver drills. He had to undergo corneal surgery that same evening and was out of work for a couple months. He now wears thicker glasses and has the teleprompter moved closer.
This said by Wikipedia.

Great story, interesting. I actually enjoy Stu's work and the only real problem I have is being called a degenerate. Then again, if I read right, you did the same to yourself. Good job again Scott. I've began enjoying your comments too, what people post on your stuff is hilarious. May be pointless, even barely related to sports, but it was interesting and that's all that really matters.
from 2 months ago
Thanks Joe for the kind words. I enjoy your real sports writting. I bring a style to this site nobody has seen before. I know it's not real sports journalism, but I'm not trying to be in a newspaper someday. So, I will continue to come up with different articles for you, and you keep providing me with in-depth NBA knowledge. Since you are a degenerate with the NBA. Speaking of which, your Ellis take?

I've got an article on what happened to Ellis. Didn't notice this comment till now but I've got something on it. Don't be afraid to check it out Scott.

from 2 months ago
I don't know Dave, I found it on google images. The kid is pretty hard to get a pic like that with Stuart. If that was me in the picture I would have told Stuart I'm over here. He has such a lazy eye in the picture.

It seems like you are a bit jealous of Stuart Scott because he gets to rub elbows with superstar athletes and other big time personalities.
Anyone who points out someone else's disability or handicap is an immature piece of 5h!t.
I just thought the guy was cock-eyed.

Who don't you go write an article on why I have one red eye and an eye patch over the other.
from 2 months ago
As a fellow Raider fan Rock I'm shocked. With your logic why don't you go around the black hole and tell them not to curse. If he was born with his eye like that, I would have ever written a word. But Stuart decided to do something he couldn't do. Yes, he has one the coolest jobs, but if I were ever given the opportunity I wouldn't get hit in the face with the ball and I wouldn't lose to Obama.

When I think of some of the posts that Zander has deleted, of mine, then allows a krok DOG$hit like this to flourish on his site...is eerie!
This is worse than *the clown* who posted on the NBA-busts article, and put Len Bias in his comment, about players who didn't live up to their potential.
You pro-Racist mindsets are sicknin.

Taken quite literally, Bias did not "live" to realize his potential. I remember when it happened... a very shocking and sad event.

Rock,
What do you expect? Didn't some covetous-writer (Bass) pen an article here, a few weeks ago? With an attitude about how B/R writers aren't being extended opportunities *to rub elbows* with Big Sports stars?? And hey, the site's owners condoned or loved or moderated the article, so...who would be surprised if they're laughing at Stu Scott as well?? Thereby, allowing for a ridiculously-disrespectful article like this, to flourish on this site.

Scott, it worked like a charm. I just wrote something annoying to see what you would say. lol. Don't be to offended.
I do have on serious thing to say though. You said I was the only one who didn't like you article but some guy said you only have one testicle. Now, I'm no genious but that doesn't sound like a compliment.
Have a good day.

Ok Michael you got me. The one testicle is a inside joke. All good though for bringing it up.

Popular misconception. He did get hit in the eye, and he did get corneal surgery (also had at least one as a child), but he doesn't have a glass eye.
