FAREWELL, CHARLIE JONES

You know what I find strange?

Charlie Jones was a tremendous broadcaster for almost 40 years. He died today at age 77. And despite the long, wonderful career he enjoyed, this is the best video I can find of Charlie Jones on YouTube.

Odd.

Farewell to another great voice from my childhood.



Jim McKay, Tim Russert, and Charlie Jones. All in one week.

I don't know how much television is done in heaven, but the quality of it just went up by an immeasurable amount.

FAREWELL, JIM McKAY

A pioneer and a legend in this wonderful sports broadcasting business has died.



Jim McKay, the voice you hear in the above video, was 86 years old.

Thank you for all you've done in paving the way for us.
