Just a great demeanor with a particularly awesome voice. He made every sport he called that much better to watch. RIP.

Very very sad
That voice always reminds me of AFC football. He was a tremendous broadcaster and possibly the most adept at switching from one sport to the next. He was tremendous at all of them. A loss for all sports fans. RIP.

Some of my fondest sports memories involve the days he was teamed up with Merlin Olsen when NBC had the AFC tv package. Those late afternoon Sunday AFC games were just magical.

The sign of a great announcer is being the lead broadcaster for the Padres and making it sound interesting.
I think Dick took the Padres job because it was close to home for him. You've got to wonder what he was thinking about during a lot of those games.... "oh my, what can I say positive about this crappy team that doesn't offend the team management?"..... He was an exceptional announcer.

Memories of..........
.........listening to Dick Enberg's Angel play-by-play on the radio at night(low volume so my parents would assume I was asleep), and his UCLA basketball play-by-play when it seemed the John Wooden Bruins NEVER lost. He was a great commentator. His obvious love of multiple sports and the "back stories" he related were so impressive. A fine gentleman who will be sorely missed. RIP Dick Enberg.
