Scott started that years ago.

I love Cramer, but he stole that phrase!

Since I can't stand Scott but can at least tolerate Cramer, I say no.

Yes, as long as I can sue Stu for being an annoying fuck.

I don't think you can sue once you're dead. Of course, you might know something the rest of us don't.

Say hi to Elvis for me.

I think he's come out with more new songs since he died.

It isn't like Scott came up with 'Booyah'.

Can you sue someone for "stealing" something you didn't own in the first place?

If you copyright it, sure. Paris Hilton wasn't the first to say "that's hot" but IIRC she copyrighted the phrase.

I can remember people saying it as far back as the early nineties. There was even a Samoan rap group that called themselves the Booyah Tribe. By the time Stu started saying it it had been played out for at least a good 5 years. Just like 98% of the rest of his schtick.

Stuart Scott should be sued for shaving off his mustache. He wasn't the most attractive guy as it was.

Can we make it a class action suit and name Chris Berman as a co-defendant?

Better option, have a government agency hand out firearms to all comers with strict instructions to use said weapon to shoot whoever says "Booyah!" in public (to include a broadcast situation).
