    Gammy Krantz, it's your grandson Bobby. Why haven't you called? Do you hate me 'cause of my lazy eye?

    His eye I can tolerate.

    His on-air personality... That's where the real problem exists.

    Its like the big elephant in the room, it seems as everyone notices it but says nothing.

    My line of vision gravitates to it everytime hes on air.

    Come on man, give some props to a fellow brutha.

    He couldn't control his butterfingers. I don't think he plays football anymore.

    Although I have to ask, how can you not mind Stu, but perhaps tolerate Linda Cohn's (lack of) brains??? She's the reason Title IX should never have passed. :( joke


    And she dresses like she's trying to upstage a floozy.

    What's wrong with his eye? I never really pay attention.

    In 2002, Scott was struck by a football while at the New York Jets minicamp. The ball hit him in the left eye and severely damaged his cornea.

    One of those automatic machines that spit out footballs hit him in the eye when he was trying to make a catch.

    I'm pretty sure we covered this in the recent past, because I remember typing this explanation on this BBS rather recently.

    I'm sure he was forced to sign a waiver since he participated in actual drills.

    Give props to him?

    He was the idiot who, on Sportscenter, made fun of a scarf that Cynthia Cooper's mom was wearing on her head while watching a Comets game during one of the chamionship runs.

    Coop's mom wore that on her head because she had lost her hair from the chemo treatment for cancer. Scott later apologized.

    Her mom has since died.

    What if he had a child with Lisa Foronda from Channel 11 news?

    well that explains Stu Scott's eye.

    huh, never knew, but I could tell once he was wearing glasses that he was trying to hide an eye injury

    He had contacts before due to a detached retina... Now he wears glasses that automatically darken in the sun, due to his heightened sensitivity to light b/c of the injury.

    Hence the reason he always appears to be in shades when he's on an outdoor set or on an extremely bright set (like on the Gameday set during football season)

    Does that mean he's blind in that eye?
