You Gotta Start Somewhere...




Anyone who watches ESPN's 'Sportscenter' knows Stuart Scott.  Joining ESPN in 1995, Scott has made a name for himself with his hip-hop style of announcing daily highlights, as well as trying hard to reach the younger demographic through his energetic, in your face approach.  Known for his hard-hitting punch-lines like, 'Just as cool as the other side of the pillow,' and 'BOO-Yah!,' it can be argued that Scott has turned into the most recognized personality on the ESPN team.  Well, as it usually goes, Scott did not just burst onto the 'Sportscenter' scene out of nowhere.  Like most of us, he started very low on the totem pole, and worked his way up, slowly... very slowly.  His first job in television was as a weatherman in the same state where he went to college, North Carolina.  If you have seen Stuart Scott just once on TV, check out the link below...well even if you have never seen him, still, check it out... as Bill Simmons would say, 'it reaches a 100 on the unintentional comedy scale.'
