RIP to JIm Mckay sports commentator

Jim Mckay passed over the weekend and he was 86. he was the voice and face of the World Wide of Sports on ABC. long before corperate greed and major power player stations,etc... this was back in the day when a voice carried so much weight. Jim Mckay was to ABC Sports what walter cronkite was to CBS News. Mckay brought you all over the world and showed you various countrys and events and he was the kind of man that stayed even keel and never lost his cool. ABC Sports will never be the same without him and He was a mount rushmore of Sports reporting but he was also more than just a sports reporter he was a voice that touched so many lives. I mean he has a catchphrase that is very Inconic the thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat. he made Saturday's a must watch and see. RIP.
