What the hell is wrong with Stuart Scott's eye?

His right eye is blue and blood shot... looks high as hell. Yet his other eye is normal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

While filming I think it was a spot for ESPN he attempted to catch a ball from a juggs gun and got cracked in the eye with the ball.

this incident happened in 02. His eyes have always been jacked up.

Stuart Scott's wife, Kimberly, winces when their 7-year-old daughter, Taelor, says, "Daddy, I'm glad you're home, but you still have to play football."
Scott, the popular ESPN SportsCenter host, has been home in Farmington, Conn., for nearly two months because of an injury to his left eye when he was struck by a football April 3. Scott, 36, was working out with the New York Jets in preparation for his ESPN piece on going through a minicamp.

The blow damaged the cornea, and Scott has been treated by several specialists as he strives to regain sufficient sight in his left eye to return to work. He'll soon be seen at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore by Walter Stark, father of ABC Monday Night Football reporter Melissa Stark.

The process has been complicated because of previous problems with both eyes, including a right detached retina. Jerome Kramer is working on a contact lens for Scott's right eye before the injured left eye is able to handle a contact lens in another two to three months.

"Dr. Kramer's a genius," Scott says. "I just got a contact lens from him, and it's very close to being the right one. My left eye was my sight before. Now my brain has to tell me that my right eye will be the dominant eye. I believe I'll be able to return (as a reporter for) the NBA Finals, and (in) another two, three weeks I should be able to read a teleprompter on SportsCenter."

appendectomy.

Scott had an emergency appendectomy in Pittsburgh after becoming ill while covering the Pittsburgh Steelers-Miami Dolphins Monday Night Football game on November 26, 2007. The surgery also discovered a malignancy that required an additional surgery to remove possibly cancerous tissue. He returned a month later and will continue on-air during recommended preventive chemotherapy. ESPN President George Bodenheimer said "Stuart is approaching this fight with the same passion and energy we see on air... He knows he has our full support and we look forward to the day where this is all behind him
