I had no idea that George Grande worked for ESPN in the early years. They keep showing a commercial on ESPN with a young Grande talking about the network which might even be the original broadcast. Learn something new every day.

Found out Grande hosted the first broadcast of Sportscenter in 1979. That's what the commercial is promoting.

I always liked Grande and thought he was a class act.
