Longtime ESPN sportscaster Stuart Scott dies at age 49 - chairman - 01-04-2015
(Reuters) - Longtime ESPN sportscaster Stuart Scott, known for catchphases that became part of the lexicon of sports, has died of cancer, the network said on Sunday. He was 49.
After first being diagnosed with cancer in November 2007 following an emergency appendectomy, Scott fought through three bouts of cancer, the network said.
“ESPN and everyone in the sports world have lost a true friend and a uniquely inspirational figure in Stuart Scott,†said ESPN president John Skipper in a statement.
During more than two decades with the network, Scott anchored ESPN's "SportsCenter," a sports news program, where he introduced such catchphrases as “boo-ya†and “as cool as the other side of the pillow.â€
