dfwabel Posted December 22, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Jordan Posted December 23, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the admiral Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Dick Enberg never tried to put himself over and always seemed to enjoy watching sports and describing them, two qualities that are in shorter supply than they ought to be. I'm glad he had such a career. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
