Listen to Gil, think of Mickey Goldstein.

 

[friend of the friendless]

Sirs, Madames,

He and Tim Ryan were dynamite on CBS boxing broadcasts in the 70s and 80s. He'd start and end sentences with "Tim!" Would have made a great drinking game. And Clancy and Ryan sounded like an Irish comedy team.

RIP
