He worked during the times when reporters didn’t actively cheerlead for Democrats. So, respect.

I remember him for his Sunday night newsbreaks, including the time in 1977 when he announced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally won their first football game. We're all getting older.
RIP, Tom.

What about Bobby Bonilla?
