George Michael Sports Machine - The final Plays of the Year

Growing up, The George Michael Sports Machine was a favorite of mine, particularly for the amazing sports moments & bloopers shown in their regular Plays of the Month & Plays of the Year segments.

Sadly, George Michael retired the show in March 2007. Here, in this video, is the final Plays of the Year montage that he hosted for the best moments of 2006.

Can't say goodbye to 2009 until we say goodbye to the great showman of sports, george michael . . .

This show was one of the last sports shows for the serious sports fan who was knowledgeable and intelligent, unlike the crap they through on now with all the talking heads....and laughing like a bunch of jackasses

Never really liked sports at all, and didn't watch them either. But somehow, I was frequently drawn to the Sports Machine on Sunday nights...the Plays of the Month and Plays of the Year were actually appointment TV for me. I miss this quite a bit.

I searched everywhere and can't find out,what was the name of the music played when they came back from a commercial break and the NFL RoundUp? I know story segments they used music from various movies,like the "Star Wars" opening theme for the Plays Of The Month. But,the other two,I'm dying to know!

If it was ' nt for George we would not have Sports Center. He was a true fan of sports and a class act.  I liked watching his show because he looked like my Dad. I miss his passion and honest commentating on the games. My heart goes out to the family .

Im not a real sports fan but I was all ears during George's Sports segment. I grew up with NBC 4 news and it's sad that he's no longer with us. He was the truly the best. RIP George Michael.
