You're trolling right?

I wont lie, up until this week, I had not heard of him either. I'm not from the DC area, so I really never knew anything about the guy...

Here's a cool little article that people should read.

I haven't lived in the area since 1992 so I guess it's not exactly unusual that I didn't know he was such a big deal. Only reason I know who he is was because of a few local news clips I saw on YouTube in the past year, mainly the one pertaining to Snyders acquisition of the team in 1999.

However people who have lived in the DC area past 1992 have no excuse for not knowing who George Michael is :D

From the wiki on the show

The Machine shuts down

Beginning in 2004, fellow WRC-TV sports anchor Lindsay Czarniak joined Sports Machine as a contributing correspondent and substitute host, and she became the official co-host of the program in September 2006. However, this arrangement did not last long, as Michael announced on November 16, 2006 that he would retire and Sports Machine would end its 27-year run in March 2007. Michael reasoned that he would not want his contract renewed at the expense of WRC-TV's sports staff, which was slated to be reduced under NBC Universal's network-wide, cost-reduction initiative. (NBCU 2.0)

The last episode aired on March 25, 2007. After thanking his co-host, sponsors, syndicators and staff, Michael said this at the end of the show:

"I close every show every Sunday by saying 'Thank you for letting us be a part of your weekend.' Well tonight, for the final time, we say, 'Thank you. Thank you for letting us be a part of your life'. From everyone at the Sports Machine, have a great weekend everybody. We hope to see you somewhere down the road of life. Thank you."

Michael then walked off camera, and was heard to say "Last one out, turn out the lights!" as the show closed for the final time.

True class act.

No way he should go into the Ring, but pay him some sort of tribute... That will be suficient

I would not mind seeing George Michael go into the ring. He did so much for the organization and Washington sports in general. He will be sorely missed.
