Stuart Scott, the veteran ESPN anchor who captivated sports fans with his signature catchphrases and later inspired many with his long fight against cancer, has died. He was 49.
Scott joined ESPN in 1993, and proved to be one of its defining personalities at the helm of SportsCenter. His knowledge and passion — embodied by exclamations such as "Booyah!" and "Cooler than the other side of the pillow" — helped him stand out from the pack, and made him a beloved sportscaster.
SportsCenter announced Scott's death early Sunday morning.
