time to think about where he ranks in the pantheon of American sports broadcasters.

I always liked his intro to the 1980 Olympic hockey game between USA and USSR:


"People do not know the difference between a Blue Line and a clothesline."

"An event that needs no buildup, no superfluous adjectives."

"Manifestly, it is a hockey game. The United States and the Soviet Union on a sheet of ice in Lake Placid, New York."

...Not many could do it that well.
