Stuart Scott has died at age 49 after a long battle with cancer, ESPN reported on Sunday morning. That sad news brought an outpouring of grief and memories from sports fans who will remember Scott as one of the most memorable and influential “SportsCenter” anchors in ESPN’s long history.
When Scott first appeared on ESPN’s networks a little more than two decades ago, joining the company in 1993 for its launch of ESPN2, his unique style was an instant hit. He became famous for phrases like “Boo-yah!” and “cool as the other side of the pillow.” Despite becoming one of the most famous names at the network, people who knew him spoke of how gracious, friendly and down-to-earth he was.
The messages that filled social media on Sunday, including many from the NFL community (Scott hosted ESPN’s pre- and post-game shows for “Monday Night Football” for many years) reflected the man Scott was.
