dfwabel 4,155 Posted December 22, 2017 No disrespect, but as soon as I read about his death on the ESPN crawler, my initial thought was his key saying... Thank you, Mr. Enberg. Thank you. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tracy Jordan 993 Posted December 23, 2017 One of my favorite sportscasters of all-time, RIP Dick. I would definitely put him in my all-time top five play-by-play announcers, in no particular order: Dick Enberg Pat Summerall Al Michaels Vin Scully Marv Albert 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
