Rest In Peace Stuart Scott


Rest In Peace - Stuart Scott dead at 49. **Scott was a personal hero of mine. He's part of the reason that journalism appealed to me. Scott's public battle with Cancer was an In aspiration to all. **KK

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."

That man is Stuart Scott, and his contributions to the sports lexicon are writ large. But they are only one aspect of his legacy. When he passed away, he left behind so much more. He inspired his colleagues with his sheer talent, his work ethic and his devotion to his daughters, Taelor, 19, and Sydni, 15. He defied convention and criticism to help bring this network into a new century. He spoke to the very athletes he was talking about with a flair and a style that ESPN president John Skipper says, "changed everything."

** its always been my philosophy that people will live on, as long as we remember them.  Stuart Scott you were a gallant soldier, and I will ALWAYS remember you. ** KK
