Dan Hicks was an extraordinary colleague, friend and person. In his 34 years at NBC Sports, he was an exceptional storyteller and caller of games and events who elevated some of the biggest moments in sports history.
From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high profile events and especially as the signature voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Danβs blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades.
But far beyond his on-air excellence, Dan was a better person who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke, or a word of encouragement, sometimes all three in the same sentence. Our heartfelt condolences and love to his wife Hannah and his daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley.

This gorgeous Willie Mays stamp will be released in the near future by the United States Postal Service. It was a privilege to assist the USPS with this amazing project. Willie is celebrated with the 50th stamp in the Black Heritage series, and itβs a beaut. @SayHeyFdn

With today being what would have been Pat Tillman's 50th birthday, I went back in our archives and found this piece I worked on with Jude LaCava the day Pat passed in 2004. Great memories from people close to him. @FOX10Phoenix
