My thoughts are with the family.. You know it is sad when someone dies but, now their Christmas season will never be the same. I know I lost my mother 12 years ago on New Years Eve and the holiday aren't the same and never will be.. God Bless them.. He was a fine man...
I never missed the 'Sports Machine' back in the day! He really changed the way things were done. That long article doesn't mention how many of his junior people went on to be sports anchors in other markets, another notch in his Gucci belt.
RIP George.
The holiday death thing is a bummer, lost my grandmother on Christmas day 1995.

-10 points to his station. Just saw some of the coverage. Cut to a female reporter outside the studio, after saying hoe he changed folks lives he never met.

"We called these Georges dishes"
Really? I have my doubts.

I thought she said something about WRC having those dishes installed to assist with the nationwide broadcast of The Sports Machine?
I did notice that her voice was cracking when she signed off. I didn't think she had been on that station long enough to have worked with him.

She had been with NBC4 for along time actually
And those dishes were put in back in the day for his NATIONALLY SYNDICATED George Michael Sports Machine
I grew up watching that show and stayed up late every sunday to watch it.. then of course a staple for years was Redskins Report, and The Coaches shows he ran and produced. He started out here in 1980.. and even ESPN said because of George, Sportscenter came about..that pretty effin big.
RIP George, you made people smile and never sugar coated anything, you will be missed!
