OT: ESPN's Stuart Scott Dead at 49

[Jamaaliver]

One of the network's most popular personalities, Scott coined catchphrases like "Boo-Yah!" and "As cool as the other side of the pillow," which he interspersed on SportsCenter. Scott received the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the 2014 ESPYS last July and gave a moving speech (see video below).

"When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer," Scott said in the speech. "You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live."

As I got older, he drove me crazy, but when I was younger...he was one of my all-time favorites along with Rich Eisen, Suzy Kolber and Dan Patrick. My condolences to his family.



Indeed...

R.I.P Stuart...

He brought a personality to ESPN that the program had never experienced or seen before. If you haven't seen the tribute video that ESPN has made since his passing, well you definitely should. It's worth the watch. My prayers go out to his family.
