Acute illness sounds very vague.
Open to any interpretation you want

Wonder if Tirico becomes the NBC golf lead now.
God I hope not. That would be insult to injury.

I mean, yeah, could be anything from heart attack / cardiac arrest, to meningitis, to an aneurysm, to an allergic reaction, to appendicitis… I think the point is it wasn’t cancer or a known, long-term disease.

Just 64. Had the chance to get to know him and Rowdy at multiple meets over the years. These guys are the most down to Earth, good people you will see. No arrogance, just professionals who love sports. Yes, I am biased toward his swimming calls, but he was excellent across multiple sports. Kind man and good people surrounding him. RIP.

Damn. One of the best out there.

Damn, how recently had he been on a call?
I had no idea he was even sick.

Well the President's Cup was like 6 weeks ago, so that. And then I don't watch much Notre Dame football, so I'm not sure if he was involved in that or not.
But yeah, this sucks. NBC gets a lot of shite for their golf coverage, but he was a good announcer.

Sounds like it was something sudden not a long term illness

He was NBC Golf. Such a familiar easy going voice. Perfect for Golf.
I thought he was the best Golf PBP guy. Way better than Jim Nantz.

Listened to Michael Breed on Sirius and he said he heard he was rushed to the hospital last night with a bad infection and died on the way there. Crazy

Yeah, that's a tough one on a family. I really hope that's not how I go. Just rocking along living life and come down with something that starts as a fairly minor sickness and all of a sudden you're in the thick of it fighting for your life.

Many events won't be the same but watching LA 2028 with Rowdy Gaines not having Dan Hicks beside him is going to be heartbreaking
