Shocked at his sudden passing - and poor Hannah Storm drew the unenviable task, again, of breaking this news live, just as she did when Stuart Scott passed.
John Saunders was a total pro. Classy, smooth, thoughtful and supremely articulate not just with packaged news delivery (where teleprompters and notes are an aid) but in roundtable discussions on any number of topics over many years. When you don't notice any flaws or idiosyncrasies on-air, even though the person has been on air thousands of times over decades of work, you know they are masters of their craft. (A counter example would be consider Trey Wingo.)
Gone way too soon.
