Stuart Scott and Dan Patrick hosting SportsCenter is probably the thing I most remember about the 1990's. I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry a few times about Stu's passing yesterday. Rich Eisen's tribute below didn't help. Nostalgia has no chance but to completely wash over your when you realize how synonymous Stuart Scott's famous "Booyah" catchphrase is with SportsCenter in general. There isn't a sports fan among us who hasn't thought of Stu when they flip their pillow to the cool side.
Stuart Scott's speech at the 2014 ESPYs after winning the Jimmy V Perseverance Award is something that everybody should watch, whether or not your life has been directly or indirectly affected by cancer. They didn't think he would even be able to fly to Los Angeles for the event. Paying no mind to his gaunt frame, Stu delivered the most moving and powerful speech since Jimmy V himself.
Rest in peace forever on the cool side of the pillow, Stu.
