His last column/blog for Sportnet.ca was filed last evening at 1:30AM. Loved listening to that guy on the radio. I'll miss him.

RIP Enrico Pallazzo.

Sad part is that his version is better than some serious attempts at sporting events. That whole sequence at the ballpark had me laughing for days whe I was a kid.

RIP Drebin

MSH'ers in Toronto/Southern Ontario may not necesarily know his name, but they recognize the voice:

"This is City TV - Everywhere"

Mark Daily passed away today at age 57, after a batlle with Cancer. A friend of mine who does voice work at the same studio as him, said he has seen the scripts he voiced for these movie intros, they were always straight lines...no jokes. He ad libbed them all.

Former Cowboys QB/MNF Announcer Don Meredith also died today. He was 72.

"Turn out the lights, the party's over." "It ain't over until the fat lady sings."

"Dandy" Don was probably the funniest MNF color analyst ever. R.I.P.
