Eisen brilliantly trickled through Scott's signature sayings such as "As Cool as the Other Side of the Pillow," "Can I Get a Witness From the Congregation" and "BOO-YAH!" Scott will always be remembered for his nimble lexicon and infusing hip hop culture in his commentary. Here, BET.com points out 10 catchphrases that the iconic anchor brought to ESPN.
