The genius that greenlit the British comedy series Last Of the Summer Wine passed away early this morning at the age of 93... Still the only two actors surviving from the pilot episode in 1973 are Peter Sallis (Norman Clegg)and Jane Freeman (Ivy)...

Sad, sad loss as he was very classy. Tough 8 months for ESPN/ABC as they lost Tirico and Berman and now Saunders. These are tried and true and trusted personalities. They will have a hard time replacing them all. Tirico on the Olympic coverage has been a pleasant surprise.

ESPN is transitioning though. Going from personality driven to cut & paste/Plug & Play model. They also cut Colin Cowherd loose as well as the guy who was Grantland. Like it's parent companies, it is now a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Nobody is bigger than the logo. Saunders passing is a loss, not only because of his work, but because he brought credibility to the network. Guy was a hockey player...and was terrific back when ESPN didn't marginalize the sport. Seemed like a wonderful man from the sincere comments from his peers. 2016 continues to take some of our best.
