Everywhere...You never there.
Class act . Gold standard of sports reporting , commentary , critique. Actually made me gain respect for sports journalism . He lended credence to sports commentary . He's one of the few I looked to as the real deal among a sea of sports hacks posing as reporters .


I faithfully got up and watched him moderate The Sports Reporters with such dignity and adeptness...



My gosh .

Not too many left, brehthren .

Wow, mixed feelings. He's like staple but he wasn't a personality that stood out. Like everybody knows him but at the same time personality wise, he wasn't like a star so to speak. It's weird but rip nonetheless

I'm a big big CFB by far my favorite sport he was a stable of my childhood watching halftime reports and waiting for him to give me my FSU highlights one of the first memories of becoming an FSU fan was through John Saunders

I grew up loving hockey as a kid and there wasnt't that many black men on tv who talked hockey:mjcry:. I would watch sports reporters just because of him since he would talk hockey; I think he did some NHL 2 Night in the '90s too.

Damn this shyt hurts:sadcam: RIP.
