Rich Eisen's return to ESPN marked a nostalgic moment for many viewers, as it was his first appearance on SportsCenter in 22 years. The show celebrated this milestone with graphics and music reminiscent of earlier decades. Eisen took time to honor his late friend and former co-host Stuart Scott, who passed away in 2015 after battling cancer. He reflected on their time together, expressing how much he misses Scott and pondering what his friend would think of current sports headlines and developments in the industry.
It has been a blast being here tonight; but listen, we all know there should be someone else right here in this chair next to me right there as he was for my seven years in the role he referred to as my TV wife, and that's my dear, late friend Stuart Scott, who is indeed looking over my shoulder tonight.
I frequently think of Stuart a lot and what he might think of the sports headlines of the day, like say, Bill Belichick being the head football coach at his beloved school.
