Dick Enberg, dead at 82

[78]

One of my favorite play-by-play guys ever. NBC, CBS, ESPN. Smooth, articulate, classy. Did NFL, MLB, tennis, UCLA basketball, including the Game of the Century, UCLA vs. Houston, Lew Alcindor vs. Elvin Hayes, in 1968.

I'll remember him most for his great work at the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, him and Johnny Mac.

Dead at 82. Oh, my!

Does Mic Hubert pay royalties to Enberg for borrowing his signature "Oh My!" line?

Enberg was one of the last iconic broadcasters that have been replaced by the snarky, self important mouths we must listen to today
