I used to watch "George Micheal's Sports Machine" every Sunday night.
RIP George.

The Sports Machine was a late Sunday night ritual in my house for many many years. RIP George...you ruled it.

Good Guy from what I can tell. RIP. Prayers up for him and his family.
He is part of one of the funniest video clips out there.

Impossible to imagine ESPN without the Sports Machine. It redefined sports coverage, although he will never be credited as such. RIP.

He also was a DJ on Musicradio WABC in New York during the 70’s.

Used to see him on the local news when I lived in the D.C. area. He loved horses. I remember he lived on a big horse ranch out in Maryland somewhere and when the ‘96 blizzard snowed him in, the news station picked him up by helicopter.

Good old Quad. I learned how to setup and play those noisy rigs up doing legacy conversions to Beta and DVC Pro. I’ve run into both the AVR 2 & 6, high and low band versions.

I still have a videotape I made of “plays of the month” and “bloopers of the month” over the years. He was truly a pioneer, and excellent at his job.
