Dick Enberg was in my top 3 all time favorite announcers. He was so smooth and never superfluous in his calls. It didn't matter what he was calling either. He will be missed.

Nailed it...I completely agree.
For years, I’d eagerly get up like it was Christmas morning to hear him call Wimbledon...

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of this! I’m also younger. My favorite sports show as a kid was Sportswriters on TV. I grew up in Chicago...

Franco's daughter is at her last hours and the Civil War has come back, twitter way.
Imagine Hitler's family or Stalin's or whoever, living in their own country they ruled.
Brown-nosed by part of society, Granted by a Dukedom by the King, Grandee of Spain, enjoying the wealth they accumulate during Franco's power, with Looted art, gifted Castles, billions of euros hidden, Bishops crying.
120.000 Republicans killed by Franco's are still TODAY under the land in the sideways of any roads.
That happens only in Spain.
Hija de la gran puta.

I'm not really familiar with his work, but when skipping through channels one time, I caught a joke he delivered on Coach that's stuck with me ever since: "Chicken's like a steak - it's supposed to have a little pink in it."
