"They're all gone." What a quote.

A great Marylander, a great man, and a legend in sports broadcasting. RIP.

Re: RIP Jim McKay

When I think of him I think about Wide World Of Sports back in the 70's and as a kid I would always check to see what would be on every Saturday. They brought such a varity of sports from big wave surfing, barrell jumping on ice skates, lumber jacks, Evil Knievel's big jumps, dirt bike racing, all the big boxing title fights, etc... It was a great show that brought the other sports to TV.
