Jim McKay dead at 86
For Americans, this guy was the voice of the Olympics. I remember watching ABC's Wide World of Sports every Saturday. I miss that kind of programming.
McKay is a legend among sportscasters.
Of course, he was the guy that broke the news of the murder of the Israeli athletes in Munich in 1972.
