DC Area broadcaster George Michael passes away

loved the wednesday wrestling when u was a kid...rip

RIP. As a kid growing up in DC, he was must-see tv. As an adult, working in the sports media idustry, for me (and many others) Michael was a pioneer

Oh man.. I'm 26 but remember him very well, sad day for the DC area and beyond.

RIP George

He loved his job, was great to watch.

I just heard this news at 4:00 pm. My prayers and condolences go out to the Michael family. He was one of a kind and will surely be missed...RIP George.

Wow, very sad news. Like many I grew up watching the Sports Machine and watching him do the sports section in the 11 o'clock news on NBC 4. RIP GM.

Wow, I'm just seeing this. Pretty much the same as many have already commented; I grew up watching George Michael. There's was this certain pride I had, I guess, that his program was locally produced, but aired across the nation. I would wait for Sunday night highlights almost like I waited for Monday Night football. A true giant has passed.
