I don’t particular enjoy Scott as a broadcaster. As is so common with ESPN anchors, at some point the schtick stopped being cute and it became more about him than about the sports. I don’t mind schtick, but not when it gets to the point where the highlights become just an opportunity for Scott to showcase his latest catchphrase, and not at the point where sports becomes The Stuart Scott Show. For me, sportscasters (and newscasters) should be the way we think of the referees in sports: when they’re doing their job properly, I shouldn’t know they’re there, and afterwards, I shouldn’t remember who it was. (I’m fully aware I’m in the minority here.)
