I heard about this on ESPN yesterday. He lived a good long life at 86 years. I remember watching him give commentary on various Olympics games over the years...he certainly did a fantastic job at it. :) Now he will be greatly missed. :(

Personally, I thought he already died :-[ -not saying that this is truly a loss. He was just a pioneer in the television sports world. I seem to recall that he also did a Timex commercial or two.
"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."
My thoughts go out to his family.
R.I.P.

Jim (McManus) McKay rocked. "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat"...
No disrespect here, but it would seem appropriate that they should put his coffin on a set of skis, and send him for one last ride down one of those Alpine ski jumps! :)

John Cameron Swazey used to do the most memorable Timex commercial where they strapped it to the front of a boat.
