Definitely one of the voices of my youth. Of course in those days the Packers were so bad, if you wanted to watch some exciting football, Air Coryell was always fun, and often with Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen on the call.

We must be almost the same age. Back in 1979 when the Packers were really bad, I jumped on the San Diego Chargers bandwagon with Dan Fouts, John Jefferson, etc. Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen seemed to be the broadcast team for those guys every week so I also got very familiar with them. They were just an excellent announcing duo and seemed to be perfect for announcing those really fun to watch Chargers teams.

RIP Mr. Enberg.
