The sports world lost one of its best Sunday with the passing of 49-year-old iconic sportscaster Stuart Scott.
Scott passed away from cancer early Sunday morning, and as the news began to spread many Arizona Cardinals players and personnel offered their thoughts and condolences.
“Obviously, we are still stinging from the loss, but I think when you come to work you find ways to put things into perspective,” head coach Bruce Arians told reporters Sunday. “We lost a football game, but we lost more this morning. I think one of the best members of the media I’ve ever dealt with, Stuart Scott, passed away. That’s more real than a football game.
“You guys lost a great ally and a friend – we lost one, too. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”
Some took to Twitter to broadcast their condolences:
Our thoughts and prayers go out to @StuartScott's family. He will be greatly missed. Great man! #RIPStuartScott
