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.

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.

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.

Shine on Jack LaLanne

[JBarrera 0]

That's sad. If there was anyone in the world to look up to in terms of staying fit and active, it would be Jack LaLanne.

[RadioGaGa 162]

I wish I could be as fit as him when I hit 36 in a few years...let alone 96! Dude was a machine!
