Agreed.
There is another guy I miss on the air waves. His delivery was spot on & he was a terrific on air personality. I can only imagine the sports stories he's shared with his grand kids.
Side note & true story ... Mr. Henderson stayed (pre flood of 2016) a block away from my mom in Park Forest Subdivision/Baton Rouge. Great broadcaster and also a cool neighbor  .
