He also hosted a handful of game shows back in the day, including the long-running and much-beloved Sports Challenge. I miss the days when ESPN and ESPN Classic would rerun that show.

Re: RIP Dick Enberg
I remember him as the UCLA basketball announcer during the Wooden dynasty. That's the last time I paid attention to ball sports.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: RIP Dick Enberg
Dick Enberg was slated to become the prime time host for NBC's coverage of the Moscow Olympics, along with Bryant Gumbel. But politics interfered...and NBC didn't win broadcasting rights again until 1988 in Seoul.
