I am not a huge sports fan, but as a young person in the "60's and "70's, ABC's Wide World of Sports was a must-see in our house and Jim McKays' meliflous voice and gentlemanly demeanor made watching whatever sporting event beingfeatured on that weeks' show was an absolute pleasure. I have always thought that Jim McKay was the epitome of a professional sports broadcaster. Thank you and RIP, Jim McKay.
The fact that he remembers so many details years and years later is why Jim McKay is THE BEST. EVER.

He was definitely an icon's icon.
In a strange way, I wish I would have seen how he handled the Munich disaster.
