I miss Jim McKay

[Gil Dobie]

Fixture at the Olympics since forever, passed away in June.
I'm sure Jim would have loved these games, sure miss his commentary. xthumbsupx

[chantster]

Me too. :(

I'll always remember Jim McKay for Wide World of Sports, 1972 Munich Olympic Tragedy, and of course The Olympics.

Just not the same without him.

And it's made even worse by the coverage of NBC xnonono2x

Costas is a nice guy, respectable commentator

But he is not Jim McKay xsmhx

I miss McKay but let's get it straight. Costas has more sports knowledge in his little toe than McKay ever had.

[BlueHen86]

I also miss Jim McKay.

Here is a tribute to McKay, by Bob Costas

There's really no comparision, apples and oranges, McKay was more into a diverse array of sports, while Costas in more mainstream.

sports knowledge... yes.

but jim mckay was far better than costas at capturing the essence of the olympics. mckay was great at being able to reflect how the games transcended sports... and i agree with what's been said... it's just not the olympics without him.

McKay was old-school, like a guest in your home, when he described sports. I liked him.

[Gil Dobie]

I like Costas and McKay, so I have no reason to bash either one. xthumbsupx
