Suzy Kolber fights back tears during Super Bowl tribute to Stuart Scott image

During ESPN' pregame cover of Super Bowl XLIX, the NFL Countdown crew, led by Suzy Kolber, shared their fondest memories of former colleague Stuart Scott, who lost his battle with cancer in early January.

Scott was a mainstay on the network's Super Bowl coverage throughout the years, and worked closely with Kolber. During the tribute, Kolber tried her best to fight back the tears as she relived some of her greatest memories of the time she shared with Scott.

Much of Kolber's career at ESPN overlapped with Scott's, with the both of them hosting the flagship show "SportsNight" on ESPN2. 

The Super Bowl is all about ratings and money, but Kolber did an amazing job showing the human element.
