I always took him for granted. But there is no one who has come since who was as good as he. Or even in his mold.

FWIW, I was unable to watch the Munich tragedy coverage as it happened because I was in basic training.

He was a true pioneer. I always liked sports growing up (of course, Cosell took the reins by the time I was watching) and watching WWOS was the coolest thing. It was revolutionary because it took sports that otherwise would receive absolutely no face time on television and brought them into your living room. What was more amazing is that you were actually interested.

I still remember turning it on Saturdays and watching Olympic skiiers doing huge jumps, gymnasts back when Comaneci was making history, hell, even fencing. I never knew that active sports outside the "big 4" could be interesting to watch.

He was a gem to sport and the last of a dying breed. RIP, Jim... you'll be sorely missed.
