Stuart Scott, a prominent ESPN sportscaster who was known for infusing his reports with a blend of pop culture references, slang and exuberant phrases that made him something of a pop culture figure in his own right, died Sunday in a hospital near Hartford, Connecticut. He was 49.

He lost a battle with cancer, according to the Boston Globe.
