SportsCenter anchor Stuart Scott, known for his quirky catch
phrases such as “Boo-ya” and “As cool as the other side of the pillow",
which enthralled viewers for decades has died. Scott died today after a long battle with
cancer which started in 2007.
“ESPN and everyone in the sports world have lost a true
friend and a uniquely inspirational figure in Stuart Scott. Who engages in mixed martial arts training in
the midst of chemotherapy treatments? Who leaves a hospital procedure to return
to the set? His energetic and unwavering
devotion to his family and to his work while fighting the battle of his life
left us in awe, and he leaves a void that can never be replaced,” said ESPN
president, John Skipper.
Scott, 49, is survived by his two daughters, Taelor, 19, and Sydni,
15.
