What Really Happened To Stuart Scott’s Eye?
9:48 pm in College Football Recruiting, Other Sports News by admin
Some say it is a bad case of lazy eye. “I don’t know the clinical term for it, but he’s got what is commonly referred to as a “lazy eye.” It’s not as uncommon as it seems. I’ve worked with a few people who have it both worse and not as bad as Stuart Scott. ”
Others say it was penalty flag through the face mask.
They are all wrong. Stuart Scott was asked what happened during an interview.
Q. Back in the spring, you sustained a severe eye injury while filming a story about football minicamps with the Jets. Tell us what happened.
I had gotten in shape and (Jets coach) Herman Edwards gave me permission to go to minicamp with them. I was doing a feature for ESPN on what it’s like to be in minicamp. But I was serious about it.
The day I was there, there were eight wideouts and the wide receiver coach said I was rated number six. I didn’t have any delusions of grandeur. I was hoping I’d be good enough to be a scrub wide receiver or a practice wide receiver in the NFL. I found that out that day. I didn’t disappoint myself and I didn’t embarrass myself.
At end of practice all the wideouts went to the Jugs Machine, it’s a machine that shoots balls out. I had never done that before. I had been catching everything that day in practice from the quarterbacks. I was probably a little close and the thing was fast and the thing was faster than I thought it was.
Q. The ball, coming out of the machine, hit you square in the left eye. How bad was it?
It was serious. I had emergency surgery that night and was out of work for a couple months. It was tough. I had some eye surgery before so I knew how severe it was. It was probably more scary that day, not knowing. The next day came and I knew it would be a long recovery back. I still need some more surgery. The eye is not great now. But I had some time off.

Can you say D*MB@SS? You are a damn announcer and you thought you could wake up one day and be in the NFL? Talk about STUPID!?! Stop smoking weed and going to be with dreams of granduer. Your eye should serve asa reminder that you are JUST a reporter! You are a good one, but just a reporter.
Your story should serve as a remider for all others to be who they are, not who they think they are. If you wake up one day and believe you’re a gangster because you watched a good movie, then you get shot… ANOTHER GOOD REMINDER! Don’t be a D*MB@SS! Use what God gave you for YOUR LIFE, not someone elses. We all have gifts, recognize yours and use them to the fullest of your capabilities!
In response to Captain Laff-A-Lot. “this should serve as a reminder blah blah” you’re obviously a piece of sh-t and don’t appreciate an excellent idea. That being said, you are also OBVIOUSLY ignorant!! I feel that the story Scott was working on would’ve given the public great insight as to what a mini-camp entails and I think that most people would agree with my opinion. Seriously, who makes a statement like that? You are ridiculous and it’s apparent to me that you were beaten as a child and do not have an athletic bone in your body. “Don’t be a dumba$s”? If Scott would’ve finished that story, it would’ve been watched by millions. Therefore, I do not believe you can classify him as a dumba$s, more like a sportscaster using his “God-given” gifts to attract the attention of millions of others in order to inform them of what really goes on at a mini-camp. Get a life you piece of sh-t and stop looking for reasons to bash on others!!!!!!
I was wondering what happened to Stuart’s eye. Thanks for sharing. Stuart Scott is awesome in his trade. I admire him for following his heart in chasing the dream of playing and reporting Sport stories. Although not funny at the time of incident…..I bet your frat brothers and friends are hazing you now. Peace!
Thanks for tha post…I watch sporstcenter all tha time and always wondered y my manz eye was like that…The jugg machine doesn’t look that bad on nfl network but I guess if you don’t have much experience with it, it can do some damage.
captain laff a lot…you strike me as a person with very few friends. and too much smoking weed? fuck that. weed is gods gift to earth. you are a tool.
captain laffalot doesn’t suck…he swallows! hahaha What a moron. You are clearly one of life’s overachieving underachievers. You sit around all day and wonder what could’ve been had you only made an effort. Mad at the world because most of the world is willing to take a chance to get the things they want.
Stay in your recliner you armchair quarterback…actually, I take that back because even that would require some kind of intelligent insight and comprehension you super-dork.
Also, I’m sure that Stuart truly respects your opinion of him being a “good” reporter. Just another notch on his list of achievements that he’ll cherish forever… I’m sure of it.
Captain Laff-A-Lot probably sits in the stands at the Special Olympics and makes fun of the participants, telling them to “give it up!”
go figure stuart scott got a lazy eye taking balls to the face w the jets. both him and the jets are gay….j-e-t-s jets jets jets
Interesting story, but everyone knows Scott’s eye was jacked long before Herm Edwards coached the Jets. Dude always looked like that since Day One on ESPN and he started in the mid-90s while Edwards was coach of the Jets starting in 2001.

you are an idiot. did you read the part where it said he was ranked 6th out of 8 receivers. obviously he is pretty damn good. and he was doing it for an espn feautre. you're an ignorant, useless human being. quit talking shit. stuart scott is a damn good analyst, and obviously a pretty good athlete. don't hate on him for trying to go above and beyond. it would have been a very entertaining and enjoyable feature.

wow captain dipshit here is obviously another tool in the shed. it is clear why he has no response to his idiotic comments about a great sports analyst. you sound like one of those fucken jehova's whitnesses who gets the door slammed in your face everyday. next time save your dumbass comments to yourself
stuart scott's eye has always been messed up…kinda laughable that this story comes out now after over a decade of seeing his messed up eye on espn. that's why he's always worn those fake glasses to try to hide it. stuart scott is a poser, with his fake street cred, bs stories about how his eye was messed up and bs glasses to try to hide what we can all see. makes me laugh.
your an ignorant bastard, and i hope you get cancer in the dick
Thats ruff. I always thought he was just high.
Thats rude. he doesn't get high on camera, only at the ESPN parties.
that sux, good luck man.
Wow. made me laugh kid
