TPS Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 RIP Dick Enberg. I grew up in SoCal and remember watching replays of UCLA basketball with Enberg as the announcer. I was an Angels fan and thought he was up there with Scully. Enberg and Drysdale were great together, and then Torre joined him for a few years. I have to admit, I totally forgot about he and Olsen doing the football games.
Mark Vader Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 So sad. He was a joy to listen too. He and Merlin Olsen were a great team, although my personal favorite was when he was paired with Bob Trumpy. RIP Sir. You will always be remembered.

They were absolutely a great team.
oldmanfan Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 One of the all time greats. A shame that he's gone.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 RIP. My all-time favorite announcer!
T-Bomb Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Oh well, old people die. At least he made it to 82, it's a good run. Edited December 22, 2017 by T-Bomb
dpberr Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 He's part of some really great memories when the Bills were always on, every Sunday, in Pennsylvania. It was rare to have a Sunday go by without hearing his voice.
Rico Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 RIP Dick. I liked him on the NFL games, but also remember him being pretty good hosting the Sports Challenge game show too.
Fadingpain Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 I associate his voice with the Bills Superbowl teams, calling a typical regular season game of ours, as much as anyone. Back then the AFC was on NBC and he was the No.1 guy on that network. The Bills were so good we often got the No.1 broadcasting team, so we heard Dick Enberg a lot in those days. RIP
LabattBlue Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Tremendous broadcaster. Loved listening to him over the years.
LABILLBACKER Posted December 22, 2017 Posted December 22, 2017 Dick Enberg should be on the Mount Rushmore of SoCal sports broadcasting with Vin Scully and Chick Hearn. Bob Costas just said he was like a champion decathalete of broadcasters. He did just about every sport at a high level. We truly lost a giant today.
KD in CA Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Enberg was the voice of AFC football (and lots of other big events) for most of my life. He's as recognizable for big Bills, Browns, Broncos, etc. games as Summerall was for Giants, Cowboys, 49ers, etc. A legend of that industry. RIP
