Greatness doesn't even begin to describe Jim McKay. He was the voice of our lives whenever The Olympics came on because we would watch it non-stop from the Opening to the Closing.
This stuff is classic. McCay did a great service in his coverage of the 72 Olympics. I was watching on a black and white TV as a 10 year old. The belief is the final thing he said at Munich was...They re all gone" Thats not accurate. he went back on the air after being told to Wrap it up....Jim says...I thought I just did.....He went back on air and help me if I am wrong but I think he said "be haunted in the hills of Munich" Ive never been able to find that clip

A different and better era back then.
Still iconic, years after his passing.
The face of ABC Sports.
What Jim says about looking down every side street from the taxi, love that.
What a class act he was! Now let’s see part 2!
will work on it! These Later episodes fascinate me
I still miss him!
His son is president of CBS Sports(and I think News as well)
The clip of Olga Korbut and what she did on the bars is not allowed in gymnastics today I never knew that before
legend

Greatest sportscaster ever
Jim has a great singing voice too.
Jim McKay sings! 4:34
He sounds like Lloyd Bridges.
ABC did the best Olympic coverage ever. It's a shame we're stuck with NBC until 2032. I hope ABC returns to do Olympic coverage.
