What will you remember about Jim McKay?

Question

He is proclaimed as our top newscaster ever, setting a standard no one has reached as of yet.

I was never really familiar with him in particular. However, my dad and I were talking about him and some of the news topics he covered, such as the Munich Olympics incident. I have heard about that incident. What I remember about that were the words, "They're all gone." He had a way with words.

Answer 1

The thrill of victory and the Agony of defeat.Imust have seen that intro to ABC Wide world of Sports a hundred times.He was born to do what he did.

Answer 2

I have to disagree. Of course I also never grew up with him either, I'm way too young. He may have been the the top sportscaster, " i mean 18 hours straight is pretty good." However, think when it comes to news, he doesn't impress me that much. I think Paul Harvey beats him out of that spot.

Answer 3

Jim McKay was a sportscaster not a newscaster.
