Stuart Scott, a longtime anchor at ESPN, died Sunday morning
at the age of 49.
Among the features of the new ESPN studio in Bristol is a
wall of catchphrases made famous by on-air talent over the years.An amazing nine of them belong to one man — from his
signature “Boo-Yah!” to “As cool as the other side of the pillow” to “He must be
the bus driver cuz he was takin’ him to school.”“He didn’t just push the envelope,” says NBC commentator and
former ESPN anchor Dan Patrick. “He bulldozed it.”And he saved his best for his last year on the air.At the ESPYs on July 16, shortly before his 49th birthday
and following another round of cancer surgery, Stuart accepted the Jimmy V
Award for Perseverance with strength, humor, grace and these eloquent words:“When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You
beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you
live.”
