RIP George Michael

Legendary sports anchor with NBC George Michael died today.  I kind of grew up with him on my tv.  As far as I'm concerned, he was the perfect balance of homer and critic, and he always predicted that the Redskins would win on Redskins Report the Saturday night before a game, no matter how likely.  He and Sonny always did the live Monday evening interview from Redskins Park.  Man, he was great.

As Michael Wilbon said, "Now, George's voice has been silenced the only way it could be. But if you close your eyes and listen real closely, you'll hear Jim Vance and Arch Campbell laughing and see Doreen Gentzler shaking her head, and George Michael taking you out to the Capital Centre or RFK or Cole Field House for one more highlight, one more interview. We were so lucky that it was so good for so long. And nothing like him will ever pass this way again."
