  • "Playa please!"
  • " Stylin like Tookie at a Crips scene"
  • "Holla at a playa when ya' see him on the street." (home run or a nice play)
  • "Can I get a witness from the congregation?"
  • "T.O. plays nice like Tookie after the drip"
  • "He shoots hot like a brother at a police convention."
  • "As cool as the other side of the pillow."
  • "Ever Berman could holla at Artest, playa you cry as much as Anna Benson with Stephen A. Scott"
  • "That run was as fat as Oprah laying down in flour."
  • "Call him butter, 'cause he was on a roll."
  • "Yo, he smacked that ball like Mike Irvin with a eight ball and a best header"
  • "He steals the rock like Jesse at a fundraiser"

  • "Talks smack like Whitney and Bobby after gettin down with a pipe and some wack crack"
  • "And the Lord said, 'You got to rise up!'" (à la a Southern Baptist preacher, "Lord" pronounced with an extra-long open-mid back rounded vowel and with an alveolar flap instead of an alveolar approximant)

  • "Lemme know"
  • "Bananas!"
The above list was becoming so large that it was becoming less of an article and more of a list of difficult to verify catchphrases. I have moved them to the talk page so that the ones that can be verified (and deemed noteworthy enough for inclusion) may be moved back into the article, if so desired. Alternatively, these could and probably should be migrated to Wikiquote instead. Merry Christmas, Can't sleep, clown will eat me 18:10, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] His eye

Why isn't there info about his crazy eye and how he got hit upside the head with a football?

He thought he was a bad ass at the Jets minicamp and tried to catch a football out of a juggs machine and the ball came to fast for him and hit him square in the left eye.

This should definitely be in the article, when I came here I was surprised it wasn't. Although maybe you can leave out the part about him thinking he was a bad ass, unless we can get a source for that. Aaron Bowen 00:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

If you really want to know about the challenges S. Scott has had with his eye(s) outside of the singular Jets event, look up: Keratoconus. He's had mutiple surgeries throughout his life - since his teenage years - due to this progressive eye disease.

[edit] Not sure if this is accurate

"In 1993, he left NBC affiliate WESH in Orlando, FL to join the cast of SportsCenter,".. as I recall, Scott started on ESPN2, which does not have Sportscenter (they had a similar program called SportsNight.. Suzy Kolber was also an anchor.. see the ESPN2 article and his ESPN bio..)

I went to Milton E. Olive middle school in Wyandanch. We had a guy named Stuart Scott who got a fish hook in the eye. Maybe this is the real story. A girl named Kwamike Sanders hooked this kids eye while casting. The eye actually fell in the water and was eaten by some trout. This happened at the Cold Spring Harbor fish Hatchery. They cut open several hundred fish looking for this kids eye. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjm831 (talk • contribs) 02:52, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] changes

Hi guys, I just made some changes to the introduction of the article. I didn't add or remove any information, but I just tried to tweak it so it would be easier to read. Feel free to change it back if you guys liked it before; I just thought I'd try to help the article flow a bit easier for the reader. Great work on the article; I learned a lot, especially about his eye, which I had always wondered about. Username9238432 (talk) 21:40, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
