Dan Hicks' sudden passing was shocking. He wasn't my favorite broadcaster by a long shot, too bland for my taste and clever enough to be sure never to say anything the least bit "controversial." Yet there was also never anything malicious about him and he came across as likeable and friendly. There are many far worse announcers than Dan Hicks. RIP
Al Michaels, another announcer who isn't a favorite of mine but who like Hicks has been an established presence for a long time, gave a brief and emotional tribute to Hicks during the game last night, a day when Michaels turned 82.
