DC will get to say goodbye to one of its legends on Thursday at the National Cathedral. There’s no question that George was a pioneering sports anchor, his nationally syndicated Sports Machine show on Sunday night was a window on sports in the days before Cable (yes, youngins, there were days before Cable…) brought ESPN to the fore. Michael’s nearly 30 years of work in DC set the bar for all to follow. His memorial will begin at 11am, and will feature former Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs.
