In the South we experienced, you know, some black kids who gave us a hard time because – cause ‘you talk white.’ We didn’t talk white. We talked fairly proper. Plus, we had a Midwestern accent, so we didn’t have a Southern accent, either. So it wasn’t really talking white; it was talking different. Stuart Scott Read Quote
When I’m sitting around watching a game with some friends, and we’re all excited, and Jordan is driving in, we might say, ‘Come on Mike, break me off a little somethin’-somethin’.’ I decided to take that and translate it into what I do on ‘SportsCenter.’ Just add statistics. Stuart Scott Read Quote
I knew I heard the doctor correctly. I didn’t think he said something else, I didn’t think for a second, ‘Well maybe he didn’t say it.’ No, I knew I heard him! But I still couldn’t comprehend… in my mind… in my soul… he just said, ‘cancer.’ Stuart Scott Read Quote
A lot of rappers say ‘I’m talking about stuff that goes on, what I grew up in, that I know about.’ And these journalists say, ‘Yeah, but you’re making 80 million dollars, that stuff’s not about you.’ Look how long he’s been making 80 million. He grew up poor in an urban city and the things he’s experienced and knows. Stuart Scott Read Quote

I practice a lot. I practice in the winter when it’s cold in Connecticut – a lot. I practice in my bedroom on the carpet – a lot. For all the practice I do, I should be a better golfer than I am. Stuart Scott Read Quote
Working out is my way of saying to cancer, ‘You’re trying to invade my body; you’re trying to take me away from my daughters, but I’m stronger than you. And I’m going to hit harder than you.’ Stuart Scott Read Quote
I keep working out for me, but I also keep working out for my daughters. I want Taelor and Sydni to know that I’m still strong. I want to walk them both down the aisle. And I still plan to. I hope to. I don’t know. That’s what cancer robs you of. Cancer robs you of the ability to look past today. Stuart Scott Read Quote
That was just kind of a surprise when the doctor said, ‘We did a biopsy on your appendix, and you have cancer.’ Stuart Scott Read Quote
