George Michael Sports Machine

Somehow, I missed this news. I used to watch his show every Sunday night. He seemed like a really great guy.

Heck I remember him when he was a DJ on WFIL-AM(yes!) in Philly-late '60s-early '70s.

I did enjoy his show...for some berkeleyed up reason* the local NBC affiliate dropped it a couple years ago.

*( apparently Sports Machine simply ended in '07)

There was an interesting (if not entirely flattering) piece on him on Deadspin recently:
