Even as the biggest sporting event of the year approached, ESPN took a moment to remember its veteran broadcaster, Stuart Scott, who died from cancer earlier last month. Emotional colleagues shed tears as they described the passion and kindness of their colleague, who died on 4 January at the age of 49. Host Suzy Kolber recalled Scott, who covered the Super Bowl for years, holding her baby daughter the day she was born, and how she did the same for his daughter, Taelor.
