The opening line from "Wide World of Sports" was his best!

"Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sports. The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat" (as the ski jumper takes one of the all time classic dumps off the ramp).

There'll never be another like him. Today you have a bunch of #^&#^&#^&#^&y V clones with their "yeah, baby's". :wall:

That is a classic Mike! I agree....todays broadcasters are a bunch of "wannabies"! I am enjoying listening to #^&#^&#^&#^& Stockton call the basketball games......he is awesome! I remember when he called the Sox games with Hawk Harrelson! That was the best!
