OT - RIP Stuart Scott

[patriot2000]

49-year-old SportCenter anchor Stuart Scott died this morning. I figure most on this board are very familiar with his work, so I thought it deserved its own thread.

That sucks. Not a fan of ESPNs or their talking heads, but much to young.

Im tired of seeing people die from cancer. Although no former U.S. President has died from it, maybe the people deserve to live also? Yes, im implying there is a cure and big pharm and the govt is holding it back.

You beleive that all former Presidents have been inoculated from Cancer?

Um. What did Grant die of? (or from? how ever it should be phrased)

Its crazy, ive lost my mom, and two ppl from work from cancer in the past two years, all non long term sufferers. I dont know if its just because im getting older(im only 35 tho) and im noticing it more or is there really just something in the water.

It's not the water, it's our terrible diet.

He also died in 1877. That was 137 years ago. lol!

Just trying to figure out how far back this conspiracy of yours really went...
...I would think the Kennedy's would have access to this miracle treatment of curing cancer...but alas, Ted must have been left out of the loop.

No doubt cancer brings tragedy to so many families--my sympathy to all that have experienced such losses and anxieties over treatment.

Actually, this was just in the news this week--environmental effects or inherited genes account for only 1/3 of cancers while random genetic mutation are responsible for the other 2/3. That's not to say that we should ignore habits that have been shown to be unhealthful (e.g. smoking), but a considerable number of cases may be due to just "bad luck".
